Agree not to participate in other clinical research for the duration of this clinical trial.
Have ocular health findings considered to be normal” and which would not prevent the participant from safely wearing contact lenses.
Contact lens wear experience in the past 5 years.
Best corrected spectacle acuity of at least 6/7.5.
Have no more than 1.00 D of astigmatism.
Can be fitted with multifocal soft contact lenses within the power range available.
Able to obtain a binocular contact lens high contrast visual acuity of at least 6/7.5 with study contact lenses.
Willing and able to wear each study contact lens for about one month on a daily wear basis, for at least 5 days per week and 7 hours per day.
Any pre-existing ocular irritation, injury, or condition (including infection or disease) of the cornea, conjunctiva or eyelids that would preclude contact lens fitting and safe wearing of contact lenses.
Any systemic disease that adversely affects ocular health e.g. diabetes, Graves disease, immunosuppressive disease, and auto immune diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis, multiple sclerosis, Sjogrens syndrome, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Conditions such as systemic hypertension and arthritis do not automatically exclude prospective participants.
Corneal distortion resulting from previous hard or rigid lens wear or keratoconus.
