  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • The subject must read, understand and sign the statement of Informed Consent and receive a fully executed copy of the form.
  • The subject must be between 18 and 40 years of age.
  • The subject's vertex corrected spherical equivalent distance refraction must be in the range of -0.50D to -8.00D in each eye.
  • The subject's refractive cylinder must be no more than -1.25 D cylindrical correction in each eye after vertexing to the corneal plane.
  • The subject must have best corrected visual acuity of 0.20 or better in each eye.
  • The subject must be a current wearer of daily, spherical, soft contact lenses (no bifocal or multifocal contact lenses, no extended wear or monovision) for at least 5 days/ week and at least 8 hours/day during the month prior to enrollment.

  • The subject must be using digital devices (any combination of computers, tablets, smartphones, etc.) for at least 8 hours over the course of a typical day.
  • The subject should own a wearable pair of spectacles and wear them the day of the baseline visit.
  • The subject must have normal eyes with no evidence of abnormality or disease that in the opinion of the investigator would contraindicate contact lens wear.
  • The subject must meet normal eligibility conditions of binocular vision tests.
  • The subject may not have any double vision at near with their habitual contact lens correction.

Who cannot join

  • Currently pregnant or lactating (subjects who become pregnant during the study will be discontinued).
  • Any ocular or systemic allergies or diseases that may interfere with contact lens wear (at the investigator's discretion).
  • Any systemic disease, autoimmune disease, or use of medication, which may interfere with contact lens wear (at the investigator's discretion).
  • Use of any medication that causes side effects similar to side effects experienced when using digital devices, such as subjects reporting headaches associated with birth control pills (at the investigator's discretion).
  • Any infectious disease (e.g. hepatitis, tuberculosis) or a contagious immunosuppressive disease.
  • Any active ocular infection.
Show all 14Show fewer
  • Entropion, ectropion, extrusions, chalazia, recurrent styes, glaucoma, history of recurrent corneal erosions, aphakia, or moderate or above corneal distortion by keratometry.
  • Any previous, or planned, ocular or intraocular surgery (e.g. radial keratotomy, PRK, LASIK, etc.).
  • Clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) corneal edema, corneal vascularization, corneal staining, or any other abnormalities of the cornea which would contraindicate contact lens wear.
  • Clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) tarsal abnormalities or bulbar injection which might interfere with contact lens wear.
  • Any known hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to the study products.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Subjective Overall Comfort

    Subjective Overall Comfort was evaluated using the Contact Lens User Experience Comfort scores (CLUE). CLUE is a validated patient-reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire to assess patient-experience attributes of soft contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging) in a contact-lens wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Derived CLUE scores using Item Response Theory (IRT) follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicate a more favorable/positive response. Scores range 0-120.

    Measured: 1-Day Follow-up

  2. Subjective Overall Quality of Vision

    Subjective Overall quality of vision was evaluated using the Contact Lens User Experience Comfort scores (CLUE). CLUE is a validated patient-reported outcomes (PRO) questionnaire to assess patient-experience attributes of soft contact lenses (comfort, vision, handling, and packaging) in a contact-lens wearing population in the US, ages 18-65. Derived CLUE scores using Item Response Theory (IRT) follow a normal distribution with a population average score of 60 (SD 20), where higher scores indicate a more favorable/positive response. Scores range 0-120.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Marketed Soft Contact lens, AIR OPTIX® AQUA and Biofinity® in people with Visual Performance, run by Johnson & Johnson Vision Care, Inc. at 1 site in Canada.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 14 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Apr 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Subjective Overall Comfort (time frame: 1-Day Follow-up). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 Jun 2018.
