NCT02540122

Brief Summary

This is a pilot evaluation to assess the feasibility of using novel imaging process to characterize lens edge and limbal epithelial thickness profile; lens movement with gaze and blink; and conjunctival microvasculature including fractal analysis of microvascular perfusion maps and blood flow velocity.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Assessment of Bulbar Conjunctival Blood Flow Velocity

    Bulbar conjunctival microvascular responses among different types of contact lenses after a period of lens wear will be observed and evaluated for clinical relevance findings.

    4 contact lenses will be tested over a period of 21 days.

Study Arms (2)

Subject A (Neophytes)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Subjects will wear the Marketed Contact Lens 1, Marketed Contact Lens 2, Marketed Contact Lens 3, and Marketed Contact Lens 4 for a 6-hour period in a bilateral and random fashion, with a washout period of one week between lenses. Each subject will randomly be assigned to one of four unique sequences of a 4 x 4 crossover design. A block size of two sequences will be used.

Subject B (Habitual Lens Wearers)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Subjects will wear the Marketed Contact Lens 1, Marketed Contact Lens 2, Marketed Contact Lens 3, and Marketed Contact Lens 4 for a 6-hour period in a bilateral and random fashion, with a washout period of one week between lenses. Each subject will randomly be assigned to one of four unique sequences of a 4 x 4 crossover design. A block size of two sequences will be used.

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 70 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersYes
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • The subject must read, understand, and sign the STATEMENT OF INFORMED CONSENT and receive a fully executed copy of the form.
  • The subject must appear able and willing to adhere to the instructions set forth in this clinical protocol.
  • The subject must be at least 18 and not more than 70 years of age.
  • The subject's refractive cylinder must be \< 1.00 Diopters (D) in each eye.
  • The subject must have best corrected visual acuity of 20/25 or better in each eye.
  • The subject must be either a neophyte or a habitual and adapted wearer of soft contact lenses in both eyes.
  • The subject must have normal eyes (i.e., no ocular medications or infections of any type).
  • The subject must demonstrate adequate mobility and 20/30 vision oculus dexter (OD) and oculus sinister (OS) with the study contact lenses.

You may not qualify if:

  • Currently pregnant or lactating (subjects who become pregnant during the study will be discontinued).
  • Any ocular or systemic allergies or diseases that may interfere with contact lens wear.
  • Any systemic disease, autoimmune disease, or use of medication that may interfere with contact lens wear.
  • Entropion, ectropion, extrusions, chalazia, recurrent styes, glaucoma, history of recurrent corneal erosions, aphakia.
  • Any previous, or planned, ocular or interocular surgery (e.g., radial keratotomy, photorefractive keratectomy (PRK), laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK), etc.).
  • Any grade 3 or greater slit lamp findings (e.g., edema, corneal neovascularization, corneal staining, tarsal abnormalities, conjunctival injection) on the FDA classification scale, any previous history or signs of a contact lens-related corneal inflammatory event (e.g., past peripheral ulcer or round peripheral scar), or any other ocular abnormality that may contraindicate contact lens wear.
  • Any ocular infection.
  • Any corneal distortion resulting from previous hard or rigid gas permeable contact lens wear.
  • Monovision or multi-focal contact lens correction.
  • Participation in any contact lens or lens care product clinical trial within 14 days prior to study enrollment.
  • History of binocular vision abnormality or strabismus.
  • Any infectious disease (e.g., hepatitis, tuberculosis) or a contagious immunosuppressive disease (e.g., HIV, by self report).
  • Suspicion of or recent history of alcohol or substance abuse.
  • History of serious mental illness.
  • History of seizures.
