Exclusion Criteria

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.

Conditions such as systemic hypertension and arthritis do not automatically exclude prospective participants.

Difference between test and control lenses for subjective visual performance. Participants will be asked to rate their vision with each contact lens on a non-validated 1-100 numeric rating scale.[Visit 2 (approximately 1-month post enrolment - primary timepoint).<br>Visit 3 (approximately 2-months post enrolment - primary timepoint).<br>Visit 4 (approximately 3-months post enrolment - primary timepoint).<br>]
