Average Corneal Staining Area
Percentage corneal staining was assessed by the investigator for each of five regions of the cornea, i.e., four quadrants plus central. The investigator instilled fluorescein dye and examined the cornea with a slit lamp, i.e., biomicroscope and a yellow filter. Percentage corneal staining area was recorded in increments of ten, and the percentages of the five regions were averaged together.
Time frame: After 2 hours of wear
Total Corneal Staining Type
Total corneal staining type was assessed by the investigator for each of 5 regions of the cornea, i.e., four quadrants plus central. The investigator instilled fluorescein dye and examined the cornea with a slit lamp, i.e., biomicroscope and a yellow filter. Corneal staining type was recorded on a 5-point scale for each region: 0-none; 1-micropunctate; 2-macropunctate; 3-coalesced macropunctate; 4-patch (\>/= 1mm). The five regions were summed.
Time frame: After 2 hours of wear
Ocular Comfort
Ocular comfort was recorded by the participant on a questionnaire using a 5-point scale. Participant completed the sentence, "Right now my eyes feel..." with one of the following responses: 1-very comfortable; 2-comfortable; 3-neither comfortable nor uncomfortable; 4-uncomfortable; 5-very uncomfortable.
Time frame: After 2 hours of wear
Ocular Redness
Ocular redness was recorded by the participant on a questionnaire using a 5-point scale. Participant completed the sentence, "Right now my eyes look..." with one of the following responses: 1-very white; 2-white; 3-neither white nor red; 4-red; 5-very red.
