Clinical Performance of Existing Wearers of Enfilcon A Following a Refit With Fanfilcon A Lenses for 4 Weeks

Clinical Performance of Existing Wearers of Enfilcon A Following a Refit With Fanfilcon A Lenses for 4 Weeks

The aim of this dispensing study is to evaluate the clinical performance of habitual wearers of enfilcon A lenses following a refit with fanfilcon A lenses over 4 weeks of daily wear.

This is a 30 subject, prospective, dispensing, bilateral wear, subject-masked study, reviewing the refit characteristics in a group of enfilcon A wearers switched to the fanfilcon A lens. Subject's habitual enfilcon A lenses will be evaluated at the first vist and then re-fitted with a pair of fanfilcon A lenses for 4 weeks of daily wear. After the dispensing visit, subjects will return for evaluations at 1 week, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks.

Inclusion criteria

A person is eligible for inclusion in the study if he/she:

• Is between 18 and 40 years of age
• Has had a self-reported visual exam in the last two years
• Is an adapted enfilcon A contact lens wearer (at least 2 weeks in enfilcon A lens)
• Has a contact lens spherical prescription between -1.00 to - 6.00
• Has a spectacle cylinder up to 0.75D (Diopters) in each eye.
• 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.
• Is willing to comply with the wear schedule (at least 5 days per week, > 8 hours/day assuming there are no contraindications for doing so).
• Is willing to comply with the visit schedule

Exclusion Criteria

A person will be excluded from the study if he/she:
