Clinical Validation Study of Comfilcon A Multifocal Toric Contact Lenses

This is a study to evaluate the clinical performance (including visual acuity, subjective assessments of visual performance, comfort ratings, vision preference and lens fit) of a comfilcon A investigational contact lens (test) compared to a control contact lens, in a non-dispensing setting. The main study hypothesis is the test contact lens will not be clinically inferior to the control lens.

Inclusion criteria

• Has had a self-reported oculo-visual examination in the last two years.
• Is between ages 40-75 years, inclusive and has full legal capacity to volunteer.

• Is able to participate in Parts A and B related to this work.
• Has a contact lens spherical prescription between +10.00 to 10.00D (inclusive).
• Has an Add component to their spectacle refraction (between +0.75 and +2.50DS).
• Has astigmatism between of -0.75 and -5.75DC (based on the calculated ocular refraction) in each eye.
• Is correctable to a visual acuity of 20/40 or better (in each eye) with their habitual vision correction or 20/25 best-corrected.
• Currently wears soft contact lenses.
• Has clear corneas and no active ocular disease.
• Has not worn lenses for at least 12 hours before the examination.
