What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Visual Acuity
Visual acuity was measured at distance, intermediate and near conditions for test and control lens was assessed by LogMAR.
Measured: 4 days
Visual Performance
Subjective assessment of visual performance for test and control lens is assessed on a scale 0-100, 0=extremely poor vision all of the time and cannot function, 100= excellent vision all of the time).
Measured: 4 days

Measured: 4 Days
Average Daily Wearing Time
Average daily wearing time for test and control lens is assessed in hours.
Measured: 4 days
Lens Fit
Lens fit acceptance (general fit characteristics) is assessed for test and control lens on a 0-4 grading system in 0.25 steps where 0 represented very poor fit.
Measured: 4 days
Bulbar Hyperemia
Bulbar hyperemia was assessed on a scale of 0-4 and was used in 0.50 steps, with 0 indicating no hyperemia and 4 indicating severe hyperemia.
Measured: 4 days
Limbal Hyperemia
Limbal hyperemia was assessed on a scale of 0-4 and was used in 0.50 steps, with 0 indicating no hyperemia and 4 indicating severe hyperemia.
Measured: 4 days
Subjective Satisfaction
Subjective satisfaction for test and control lens was assessed on a scale 0-100, 0=extremely dissatisfied, 100=very satisfied)
Measured: 4 days
Subjective Preference for Near Vision
Subjective preference for near vision for test and control contact lenses. comfort, vision, handling, satisfaction.
Measured: 4 days
Subjective Preference for Distance Vision
Subjective preference for distance vision for test and control contact lenses.
Measured: 4 days
Subjective Preference for Intermediate Vision
Subjective preference for intermediate vision for test and control contact lenses.
Measured: 4 days

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing comfilcon A Extended Range test lens in people with Presbyopia, run by CooperVision, Inc. at 1 site in United States.
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 12 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What does the primary outcome measure?
Visual Acuity (time frame: 4 days). 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?
