Dispensing Study for a New Study Lens

Dispensing Study for The Phenacite Project

This study investigated the performance criteria over one week of daily wear to determine if the comfilcon A asphere lens (test) performed equivalently to the comfilcon A sphere (control) in terms of measurement and subjective ratings of visual performance.

This study was a prospective, single site, daily wear, double masked, randomized bilateral cross over dispensing study of binocular wear of comfilcon A asphere lens (test) and comfilcon A sphere lens (control) over 1 week of daily wear.
