Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

40 years to 70 years (Adult, Older Adult)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Overall Quality of Vision Using the Contact Lens User Experience (CLUE) TM Questionnaire
Time Frame: 8 -12 days post wear
CLUE Overall Quality of Vision is assessed using the Contact Lens User Experience (CLUE)TM questionnaire. CLUE is a validated patient-reported outcomes questionnaire to assess patient experience attributes of soft, disposable contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging) in a contact-lens wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Scores follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicate a more favorable/positive response. 97% of the scores fall within 0 and 120 (mean +/-3XSD).
8 -12 days post wear
Distance Binocular Visual Acuity (LogMAR)
Time Frame: 8- 12 Days post wear
Distance time controlled LogMAR Visual Acuity was carried out binocularly with high luminance and high contrast.
8- 12 Days post wear
Intermediate Binocular Visual Acuity (LogMAR)
Time Frame: 8-12 days post wear
Intermediate time controlled LogMAR Visual Acuity was carried out binocularly using High lumiance and High Contrast.
8-12 days post wear
Near Binocular Visual Acuity (LogMAR)
Time Frame: 8-12 days post wear
Near time controlled LogMAR Visual Acuity was carried out binocularly using High lumiance and High Contrast.
8-12 days post wear
Corneal Staining
Time Frame: 8 - 12 Days post wear
Corneal staining is evaluated using Sodium Fluorescein strips. The Fluorescien strip was lightly placed on the subject's inferior palpebral conjunctiva. The corneal Staining was graded using the scale Grade 0: No Staining, Grade 1: Trace(Minimal superficial staining or stippling), Grade 2: Mild (Regional or diffuse punctate staining), Grade 3:Moderate(Significant dense coalesced staining, corneal abrasion or foreign body tracks.), Grade 4 Severe(Severe abrasions greater than 2 mm in diameter, ulcerations, epithelial loss, or full thickness abrasion.). The data was dichotomized into two group subjects with grade 3 or higher staining, and those subjects with less than Grade 3. Below the percentage of subject eyes with grade 3 or higher is reported for each lens.
8 - 12 Days post wear
Bulbar Conjunctival Injection
Time Frame: 8- 12 Days post wear
The bulbar is the scelra. Bulbar Conjunctival Injection was assessed using an Efron Grading scale by 1 unit increments. Grade 0: Normal, Grade 1: Trace, Grade 2: Mild, Grade 3: Moderate, Grade 4:Severe. The data was dichotomized into two group subjects with grade 3 or higher Conjunctival injection, and those subjects with less than Grade 3. Below the percentage of subject eyes with grade 3 or higher is reported for each lens.
8- 12 Days post wear
Limbal Conjunctival Injection
Time Frame: 8- 12 Days post wear
The Limbus is the 1 to 2mm wide zone of conjunctiva and underlying tissue adjacent to where the cornea joins the sclera. Limbal Conjunctival Injection was assesed using the Efron grading scale in 1 unit increments. Grade 0: Normal, Grade 1: Trace, Grade 2: Mild, Grade 3: Moderate, Grade 4:Severe. The data was dichotomized into two group subjects with grade 3 or higher Conjunctival injection, and those subjects with less than Grade 3. Below the percentage of subject eyes with grade 3 or higher is reported for each lens.
8- 12 Days post wear
Contact Lens Fitting
Time Frame: 8- 12 Days post wear
Contact Lens fitting is reported as a binary response. Yes- acceptable lens fit, No- unacceptable lens fit. The percentage of subject eyes with acceptable fit is reported.
8- 12 Days post wear

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
