About this study

This is a 30-subject, prospective, randomized, double masked, bilateral, 1 week cross-over study comparing the fitting characteristics of filcon IV1 toric lenses against ocufilcon D hydrogel toric lenses.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: Yes

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • A person is eligible for inclusion in the study if he/she:
  • Is between 18 and 40 years of age (inclusive)
  • Has had a self-reported visual exam in the last two years
  • Is an adapted soft toric contact lens wearer
  • Has a contact lens spherical prescription between +6.00 to - 9.00 (inclusive)
  • Have no less than -0.75D of astigmatism and no more than -2.00 D in both eyes.
  • 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).
  • Is willing to comply with the visit schedule

Exclusion criteria

  • A person will be excluded from the study if he/she:
  • Has a CL prescription outside the range of the available parameters of the study lenses.
  • Has a spectacle cylinder less than -0.75D or more than -2.00 D of cylinder in either eye.
  • Has a history of not achieving comfortable CL wear (5 days per week; > 8 hours/day)
  • Has contact lens best corrected distance vision worse than 20/25 (0.10 logMAR) in either eye.
  • Presence of clinically significant (grade 2-4) anterior segment abnormalities
  • Presence of ocular or systemic disease or need of medications which might interfere with contact lens wear. Confidential EX-MKTG-66 Clinical Performance of Toric Hydrogel Contact Lenses Following One Week of Daily Wear 10
  • Slit lamp findings that would contraindicate contact lens wear such as:
  • Pathological dry eye or associated findings
  • Pterygium, pinguecula, or corneal scars within the visual axis
  • Neovascularization > 0.75 mm in from of the limbus
  • Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GCP) worse than grade 1
  • Anterior uveitis or iritis (past or present)
  • Seborrheic eczema, Seborrheic conjunctivitis
  • History of corneal ulcers or fungal infections
  • Poor personal hygiene
  • Has a known history of corneal hypoesthesia (reduced corneal sensitivity)
  • Has aphakia, keratoconus or a highly irregular cornea.
  • Has Presbyopia or has dependence on spectacles for near work over the contact lenses.
  • Has undergone corneal refractive surgery.
  • Is participating in any other type of eye related clinical or research study.

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Fit Acceptance

    Time frame: Baseline and 1 week

    Investigator's preference for lens fit acceptance for habitual lenses assessed at baseline and filcon IV1 and ocufilcon D toric lenses assessed at baseline and 1 week. Scale 0-4, 0=should not be worn, 1=borderline but unacceptable, 2= minimally acceptable, early review, 3=not perfect but OK to dispense, 4=perfect

  2. Lens Centration

    Time frame: Baseline and 1 week

    Lens centration for habitual lenses assessed at baseline and filcon IV1 and ocufilcon D toric lenses assessed at baseline and 1 week. (Centered - optimal, decentered slightly, or substantially decentered).

  3. Post-blink Movement

    Time frame: Baseline and 1 week

    Post-blink movement for habitual lenses assessed at baseline and filcon IV1 and ocufilcon D toric lenses assessed at baseline and 1 week. Scale 0-4, 0=insufficient, 1=minimal, but acceptable movement, 2=optimal movement, 3=moderate, but acceptable movement, 4=excessive, unacceptable movement.

  4. Overall Stability

    Time frame: Baseline and 1 week

    Overall lens stability for habitual lenses assessed at baseline and filcon IV1 and ocufilcon D toric lenses assessed at baseline and 1 week. Scale 0-4, 0=very poor stability, 4=excellent stability.

  5. Corneal Coverage

    Time frame: Baseline and 1 week

    Corneal coverage for habitual lenses assessed at baseline and filcon IV1 and ocufilcon D toric lenses assessed at baseline and 1 week. (yes=full corneal coverage or no=not full coverage)

  6. Lens Orientation in Primary Position of Gaze

    Time frame: Baseline and 1 week

    Lens rotation for habitual toric lens assessed at baseline and filcon IV1 and ocufilcon D toric lenses assessed at baseline and 1 week with slit lamp by measuring within 10 degrees of the axis mark on the lens relative to the desired 6' o'clock position while the subject looked straight ahead.

  7. Rotational Recovery in Degrees After 60 Seconds

    Time frame: Baseline and 1 week

    Rotational recovery measured in degrees after 60 seconds for habitual toric lens assessed at baseline and filcon IV1 and ocufilcon D toric lenses assessed at baseline and at 1 week by slit lamp.
