The purpose of this study was to assess the ocular response to and performance of the cosmetically printed silicone hydrogel contact lens AIR OPTIX® COLORS compared to FRESHLOOK® COLORBLENDS.
The study was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 was an adaptation phase where participants wore AIR OPTIX® AQUA contact lenses bilaterally (same product in both eyes) on a daily wear basis for 1 week. In Phase 2, participants wore AIR OPTIX® COLORS and FRESHLOOK® COLORBLENDS contact lenses contralaterally (different product in each eye) on a daily wear basis for 4 weeks.
