The purpose of this study was to evaluate the subjective and objective performance and the physiological response to AIR OPTIX® COLORS soft contact lenses compared with AIR OPTIX® AQUA contact lenses in participants with normal eyes and prescription needs.
This study consisted of 7 scheduled visits conducted over a 3-month period. Enrolled participants were randomized (2:1) to receive either AIR OPTIX® COLORS lenses in both eyes or AIR OPTIX® AQUA lenses in both eyes.

Contact Lens-Corrected Distance Monocular Snellen Visual Acuity (VA) (20/30 or Better)
Visual acuity, as assessed for each eye individually. Participant read a distance Snellen chart while wearing study lenses. The percentage of eyes with VA recorded as 20/30 or better is reported. Both eyes contributed to the percentage.
Time frame: Up to Month 3
Subjective Rating of Overall Vision
Overall vision, as rated by the participant on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent. The participant rated both eyes together by providing one single rating.
Time frame: Up to Month 3
Subjective Rating of Overall Comfort
Overall comfort, as rated by the participant on a 10-point scale, with 1 being poor and 10 being excellent. The participant rated both eyes together by providing one single rating.
Time frame: Up to Month 3
Subjective Rating of Overall Handling
Overall handling, as rated by the participant on a 10-point scale, with 1 being difficult and 10 being easy. The participant rated both eyes together by providing one single rating.
Time frame: Up to Month 3
Lens Fit (Optimal, Acceptably Loose, Acceptably Tight)
Lens fit, as assessed by the investigator for each eye individually. Lens fit was rated on a 5-point scale: 2=unacceptably loose, 1=acceptably loose, 0=optimal, -1=acceptably tight, -2=unacceptably tight. The combined percentage of lenses assessed as "optimal," "acceptably loose," or "acceptably tight" is reported. Lenses from both eyes contributed to the percentage.
Time frame: Up to Month 3
Lens Centration (Centered, Slight Decentration)

Lens centration, as assessed by the investigator for each eye individually. Lens centration was rated on a 5-point scale: 0=centered, 1=slight decentration, 2=mild decentration, 3=moderate decentration, 4=severe decentration. The combined percentage of lenses assessed as "centered" or "slight decentration" is reported. Lenses from both eyes contributed to the percentage.
Time frame: Up to Month 3
Dry Areas/Non-Wetting (None, Very Slight)
Dry areas/non-wetting (i.e., assessment of the disruption of the front surface wettability of the contact lens), as assessed by the investigator for each eye individually. Dry areas/non-wetting was rated on a 5-point scale: 0=none, 1=very slight, 2=slight, 3=moderate, 4=severe. The combined percentage of lenses assessed as "none" or "very slight" is reported. Lenses from both eyes contributed to the percentage.
Time frame: Up to Month 3
Front Surface Deposits (None, Very Slight)
Front surface deposits on the contact lens, as assessed by the investigator for each eye individually. Front surface deposits were rated on a 5-point scale: 0=none, 1=very slight, 2=slight, 3=moderate, 4=severe. The combined percentage of lenses assessed as "none" or "very slight" is reported. Lenses from both eyes contributed to the percentage.
Time frame: Up to Month 3
Back Surface Deposits (None, Very Slight)
Back surface deposits on the contact lens, as assessed by the investigator for each eye individually. Back surface deposits were rated on a 5-point scale: 0=none, 1=very slight, 2=slight, 3=moderate, 4=severe. The combined percentage of lenses assessed as "none" or "very slight" is reported. Lenses from both eyes contributed to the percentage.
