What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Contact Lens Distance Visual Acuity Change From Baseline
Time Frame: Baseline, Day 90
Contact lens distance visual acuity was measured for each eye using the LogMAR visual acuity eye chart. The worse eye at Baseline was used for analysis. A change of 0.1 on the LogMAR scale was equivalent to a 1 line change in visual acuity. The following categories are reported: Better=an increase in 2 or more lines, No Change=a change of +/- 1 line, and Worse=a decrease of 2 lines or more.
Baseline, Day 90

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Average Daily Contact Wearing Time
Time Frame: Day 90
The average reported number of hours per day that contact lenses were worn by participants during the previous 7 days.
Day 90
Reason for Contact Lens Replacement
Time Frame: Day 90
The reason the contact lens needed to be replaced was recorded for each eye. The following categories are reported: Scheduled Replacement, Discomfort, Lens Damage, Unacceptable Vision and Lens Lost. There may be multiple reasons for replacement of the contact lens for a single eye.
Day 90
