Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male or female, aged 7 to \<13 (inclusive) at the Screening/Baseline examination.
- Meet the following refractive criteria determined by cycloplegic autorefraction at Screening/Baseline:
- Spherical Equivalent Refractive Error (SERE): between -0.75 and -5.00 D inclusive.
- Astigmatism: ≤ -0.75 D
- Anisometropia: \< 1.000
You may not qualify if:
- Has previously worn or currently wears rigid or gas permeable contact lenses, including orthokeratology lenses,
- Appears to exhibit poor personal hygiene, that, in the Investigator's opinion, might prevent safe contact lens wear.
- Is currently, or within 30 days prior to this study has been, an active participant in another clinical study.
- Current or prior use of bifocals, progressive addition lenses, atropine, pirenzepine, multifocal or specialized contact lenses, or ANY other myopia control treatment.
- The Investigator for any reason considers that it is not in the best interest of the subject to participate in the study, including if the child is not mature enough to independently handle and care for soft contact lenses.
