Evaluation of Dryness in a Silicone Hydrogel Daily Disposable Contact Lens

Evaluation of Dryness in a Silicone Hydrogel Daily Disposable Contact Lens

This is a multi-site, randomized, bilateral, dispensing, parallel design study with two arms to evaluate contact lens related dry eye symptoms and subjective comfort.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Potential subjects must satisfy all of the following criteria to be enrolled in the study:

1. The subject must read, understand, and sign the STATEMENT OF INFORMED CONSENT and receive a fully executed copy of the form.
2. Appear able and willing to adhere to the instructions set forth in this clinical protocol.
3. Between 18 and 59 (inclusive) years of age at the time of screening.
4. Be a daily disposable current soft contact lens wearer in both eyes with a minimum of 6 days/week wear time over the last 1 month by self-report.
5. Have a CLDEQ-8 score of 15 or greater with the habitual lens.
6. Subjects must possess a pair of spectacles for distance correction.
7. Subject's habitual lens must be the following lens types: Alcon DAILIES® Aqua Comfort Plus® , Alcon DAILIES TOTAL1®, CooperVision® clariti® 1 day, CooperVision® MyDay®, or Johnson & Johnson 1-Day ACUVUE® Moist.
8. The subject's vertex corrected spherical distance refraction must be in the range of -1.00 D to -6.00 D (inclusive) in each eye.
9. The magnitude of subject's vertex corrected refractive cylinder must be less than 1.00 diopter in each eye.

11. Have spherical best corrected visual acuity of 20/25 or better in each eye.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Potential subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in the study:

1. Subject's habitual lens is ACUVUE OASYS®1-Day.
2. Currently pregnant or lactating, by self-report.
3. Any ocular or systemic allergies, disease or use of medication which may interfere with contact lens wear (at the discretion of the investigator).
4. Any active ocular abnormalities/conditions that may interfere with contact lens wear (at the discretion of the investigator).
5. Any infectious diseases (e.g. hepatitis, tuberculosis) or a contagious immunosuppressive disease (e.g. HIV), by self-report.
6. Any corneal distortion resulting from previous hard or rigid gas permeable contact lens wear.
7. Habitual contact lens wear modality as extended wear (≥1 night per month of extended wear).
8. Habitual contact lens is rigid gas permeable, toric, monovision or multi-focal.
9. . Any previous, or planned (during the course of the study) ocular surgery (e.g., radial keratotomy, PRK, LASIK, etc.).
10. Participation in any contact lens or lens care product clinical trial within 2 weeks prior to study enrollment.
11. Employee or employee's immediate family member of clinical site (e.g., Investigator, Coordinator, Technician).
12. Current habitual use of Restasis, Xiidra, ocular steroids, or any medication (Rx or over the counter (OTC)) that may interfere with contact lens wear (at the discretion of the investigator).
13. Any ocular allergies, infections or other ocular abnormalities that are known to interfere with contact lens wear and/or participation in the study. This may include, but not be limited to entropion, ectropion, extrusions, chalazia, recurrent styes, glaucoma, history of recurrent corneal erosions, aphakia, or corneal distortion.
14. Any Grade 3 or greater biomicroscopy findings (this includes, corneal edema, corneal staining, corneal vascularization, conjunctival injection, tarsal abnormalities, bulbar injection) on the FDA classification scale.
