Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (5)
Limbal Redness - DDSH, DDH, Non-lens Groups
Objective grading (0-4, severity increases in 0.1 steps; 0=no redness, 4=severe redness) of limbal redness after 6-8 hours of habitual device wear. For each participant, measurements were taken for both eyes (OD - right eye, OS - left eye) at two locations (T - temporal, N - nasal).
6-8 hours of habitual wear
Bulbar Redness DDSH, DDH, Non-lens Groups
Objective grading (0-4, severity increases in 0.1 steps; 0=no redness, 4=severe redness) of bulbar redness after 6-8 hours of habitual device wear. For each participant, measurements were taken for both eyes (OD - right eye, OS - left eye) at two locations (T - temporal, N - nasal).
6-8 hours of habitual wear
Limbal Vessel Ingrowth - DDSH, DDH, Non-lens Groups
Number of participants with limbal vessel ingrowth longer than 0.50 mm at any of the 4 corneal quadrants (superior, inferior, nasal, temporal) after 6-8 hours of device wear.
6-8 hours of habitual wear
Limbal Redness - DDSH, DDH Groups
Objective grading (0-4, severity increases in 0.1 steps; 0=no redness, 4=severe redness) of limbal redness by location (T - temporal, N - nasal) and time (t). Measurements were taken at baseline and over a 3 hour period of closed-eye Test Lens wear.
Immediately upon eye opening (t=baseline) and lens removal (t=0), 1 hour (t=1), and 3 hours (t=3) post lens removal
Bulbar Redness - DDSH, DDH Groups
Objective grading (0-4, severity increases in 0.1 steps; 0=no redness, 4=severe redness) of bulbar redness by location (T - temporal, N - nasal) and time (t). Measurements were taken at baseline and over a 3 hour period of closed-eye Test Lens wear.
Immediately upon eye opening (baseline) and lens removal (t=0), 1 hour (t=1), and 3 hours (t=3) post lens removal
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Central Corneal Swelling (%) - DDSH, DDH Groups
Immediately upon eye opening and lens removal (t=0), 0.5 hours (t=0.5), 1 hour (t=1), 2 hours (t=2), and 3 hours (t=3) post lens removal

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Is between 17 and 60 years of age inclusive (age matching required between all 3 study groups), and has full legal capacity to volunteer;
- Has had a self-reported oculo-visual examination in the last two years.
- Has read and signed an information consent letter;
- Is willing and able to follow instructions and maintain the appointment schedule;
- No previous history of overnight contact lens wear or PMMA (polymethylmethacrylate) lens wear.
- Auto-refraction vertexed spherical equivalent between +4.00 and -8.00 (prescription matching required between groups 1 \& 2). This criterion is non-applicable to participants in group 3.
- Is found to be in one of the study groups matched by age (±5 years), ethnicity (Asian vs. non-Asian) and CL Rx (±2.00 D) according using the following criteria.
- GROUP 1: For the past (minimum) 6 months has ONLY worn spherical DDSH lenses AND prior to wearing this lens they only wore SH material lenses in the past (minimum) 3 total years.
- GROUP 2: For the past (minimum) 6 months has ONLY worn spherical DDH lenses AND prior to wearing this lens they only wore H material lenses in the past (minimum) 3 total years.
- For groups 1 \& 2, currently and for at least the previous 6 months has had habitual daily disposable wear schedule of at least 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week in only one material category - either silicone hydrogel or hydrogel material. This criterion is not-applicable to participants in group 3.
- Is willing to wear the study contact lens in the randomized eye for 3 hours of eye closure on the second study day. This criterion is not-applicable to participants in group 3.
- Has clear and healthy corneas and anterior eye and no active ocular disease;
- Can achieve monocular HCVA of logMAR 0.10 or better in each eye with subjective refraction or pinhole.
- Can achieve acceptable fit and comfort in the randomized eye with the study lens. This criterion will be confirmed at the baseline visit (V1). This criterion is not-applicable to participants in group 3.
- Has a wearable pair of spectacles.
You may not qualify if:
- Is participating in any concurrent clinical trial;
- Is unable/unwilling to provide permission for the study site to seek CL history from their eye care practitioner
- Has any known active ocular disease and/or infection;
- Has a systemic condition that in the opinion of the investigator may affect a study measure or interfere with contact lens wear; this may include, but not be limited to, diabetes, hyperthyroidism, recurrent herpes simplex/zoster, Sjogren's syndromes, xerophthalmia, acne rosacea, Stevens-Johnson syndromes, and systemic connective tissue disorders e.g. rheumatoid arthritis.
- Is using any systemic or topical medications that in the opinion of the investigator may affect a study measure;
- Has known sensitivity to fluorescein dye, topical anesthetic, or products to be used in the study;
- Appears to have any active ocular pathology, ocular anomaly or severe insufficiency of lacrimal secretion (severe dry eye) that would affect the wearing of contact lenses;
- Appears to have any signs of corneal inflammation or previous infection or corneal opacity/scar;
- Is pregnant, lactating or planning a pregnancy at the time of enrolment (by verbal confirmation at the screening visit), due to potential ocular physiological changes, such as changes in the corneal shape and cell types;
- Is aphakic;
- Has undergone refractive error surgery, or has a history of any ocular surgery or injury.
- Is a toric or multifocal contact lens wearer.
