Commercially marketed, silicone hydrogel contact lens worn bilaterally on a daily wear basis for up to 30 days with a two week and four week evaluation visit.
Overall Comfort
Overall comfort was assessed and reported by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 2 weeks of wear. Overall comfort was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.
Time frame: 2 weeks
Overall Comfort
Overall comfort was assessed and reported by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 4 weeks of wear. Overall comfort was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent.
Time frame: 4 weeks
End of Day Dryness
End of day dryness was assessed and reported by the participant on a questionnaire as a single, retrospective evaluation of 2 weeks of wear. End of day dryness was measured on a 10-point scale, with 1 being very dry and 10 being not dry.
Time frame: 2 weeks

Lens Deposits
Protein and lipid deposits on the contact lens surface were assessed for each eye by the investigator using a biomicroscope, which magnifies the appearance of the contact lens on the wearer's eye. Deposits were graded on a scale of 0 to 4, with 0 being none and 4 being severe.

Corrected Visual Acuity
Each eye was tested individually while the participant read distant charts in normal lighting. Corrected visual acuity was measured using a Snellen chart, which was converted into logMAR units (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution). A 20/20 Snellen acuity equates to a logMAR acuity of 0.0 and is considered normal distance eyesight. Positive logMAR values indicate poorer vision, and negative values denote better visual acuity.
