One Month Dispensing Study Comparing the Clinical Performance of the Comfilcon A Sphere Lenses Compared to Comfilcon A Asphere Lenses.

One Month Dispensing Study Comparing the Clinical Performance of the Comfilcon A Sphere Lenses Compared to Comfilcon A Asphere Lenses.

This is a prospective, multi-center, subject-masked, bilateral wear, one month dispensing study comparing the clinical performance of the subjects' habitual comfilcon A sphere lens (control) following a refit with comfilcon A asphere lens (test). After the dispensing visit, subjects will return for follow-up evaluations after 2 weeks, and 1 month.

This is a prospective, multi-center, subject-masked, bilateral wear, one month dispensing study comparing the clinical performance of the subjects' habitual comfilcon A sphere lens (control) following a refit with comfilcon A asphere lens (test). After the dispensing visit, subjects will return for follow-up evaluations after 2 weeks, and 1 month.

Both comfilcon A sphere lens (control) and comfilcon A asphere lens (test) are Coopervison lenses.

• Has a contact lens spherical prescription between -1.00 to -6.00 (inclusive)
• Has a spectacle cylinder no greater than 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.
