Clinical Performance of Habitual Wearers of Avaira Toric When Refitted With Clariti Toric Lenses

Clinical Performance of Habitual Wearers of Avaira Toric (Enfilcon A) When Refitted With Clariti Toric (Somofilcon A) Lenses for 1 Month.

The aim of this dispensing study is to evaluate the clinical performance of existing wearers of Avaira toric lenses following a refit with Clariti toric over 1 month of daily wear.

This is a 30-subject, prospective dispensing study comparing the clinical performance of the subjects' habitual Avaira toric lenses following a refit with Clariti toric lenses. Subject's habitual Avaira toric lenses will be evaluated at the first visit and then re-fitted with a pair of Clariti toric lenses for 1 month of daily wear. After the dispensing visit, subjects will return for evaluations at 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Is between 18 and 40 years of age (inclusive)
• Has had a self-reported visual exam in the last two years

• Have no less than 0.75D of astigmatism and no more than 1.75 D in both eyes.
• Can achieve best corrected spectacle distance visual acuity of 20/25 (0.10 logMAR) or better in each eye.
• Can achieve a distance visual acuity of 20/30 (0.18 logMAR) or better in each eye with the study contact lenses.
• Has clear corneas and no active ocular disease
• Has read, understood and signed the information consent letter.
• Patient contact lens refraction should fit within the available parameters of the study lenses.
