The primary objective of this study is to compare subjective symptoms and ocular health in a group of individuals who are currently wearing soft contact lenses on a daily wear basis, after a short period of no lens wear and during the time course when using differing care regimens.

Corneal Sensitivity
The detection threshold, the lowest level at which a stimulus to the cornea in a unit of percent CO2 can be detected was measured. Sensitivity is the reciprocal of the detection threshold.
Time frame: baseline

Conjunctival Sensitivity
The detection threshold, the lowest level at which a stimulus to the conjunctiva in a unit of percent CO2 can be detected was measured. Sensitivity is the reciprocal of the detection threshold.
Time frame: baseline
Conjunctival Sensitivity
The detection threshold, the lowest level at which a stimulus to the conjunctiva in a unit of percent CO2 can be detected was measured. Sensitivity is the reciprocal of the detection threshold.

Corneal Staining Grade
A 0-100 grading scale based on the extent of corneal staining (0 none, 100 full area).
