A Comparative Study of Two Daily Disposable Contact Lenses in Higher Myopia Subjects

Participants were expected to attend 4 office visits. Visit 1 was the Screening/Enrollment visit. At Visit 2 (Baseline Visit), participants were randomized and the study lenses were trial fit. At Visit 3 (Dispense Visit), participants received study lenses for approximately 1 week of wear. Visit 4 was the Exit visit. Expected duration of participation in the study was 3 weeks.

• Higher degree of myopia in both eyes, i.e. habitual contact lens power between -10.00 diopters (D) and -17.00D;
• Best corrected distance visual acuity greater than or equal to 20/30 in each eye (measured with either spectacle refraction or habitual contact lenses plus over refraction);
• Manifest astigmatism less than or equal to -1.00D;
• Soft contact lens wear in both eyes at least 5 days per week and at least 8 hours per day;
• Other protocol-defined inclusion criteria may apply.
