About this study

This is a 60-subject, double masked, randomized, contra lateral, non-dispensing fitting trial comparing different lens materials (hydrogel vs silicone hydrogel). It is anticipated that this study will involve 2 visits, for each lens pair, as follows: Visits: V1 (lens dispensing), V2 (1 hour post lens settling). Each subject will be randomized to wear the test and control lenses in a series of three short fitting comparisons.
