What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Average Subjective Comfort
Time Frame: Insertion, 4 hours, 8 hours each: Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3
Participants were asked, "How would you rate your comfort with your study lenses?" and indicated their response by marking a continuum line ranging from 0=very poor comfort to 100=excellent comfort. Subjective comfort was collected at three time points (insertion, 4 hours, 8 hours) for 3 days, and the comfort ratings were averaged together.
Insertion, 4 hours, 8 hours each: Day 1, Day 2, and Day 3
