Clinical Performance of Existing Wearers of Avaira Sphere Following a Refit With Clariti Elite Sphere

This is a 30-subject, prospective dispensing study comparing the clinical performance of the subjects' habitual Avaira sphere lenses following a refit with Clariti Elite sphere lenses. Subject's habitual Avaira sphere lenses will be evaluated at the first visit and then re-fitted with a pair of Clariti Elite sphere lenses for 4 weeks of daily wear. After the dispensing visit, subjects will return for evaluations at 1 week, 2 weeks and 4 weeks.

• Has a spectacle cylinder up to 0.75D in each eye.
• Can achieve best corrected spectacle distance visual acuity of 20/25 (0.10 logMAR) or better in each eye.
• Can achieve a distance visual acuity of 20/30 (0.18 logMAR) or better in each eye with the study contact lenses.
• Has clear corneas and no active ocular disease
• Has read, understood and signed the information consent letter.
• Patient contact lens refraction should fit within the available parameters of the study lenses.
• Is willing to comply with the wear schedule (at least 5 days per week, > 8 hours/day assuming there are no contraindications for doing so).
