Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Prior to being considered eligible to participate in this study, each subject MUST:

• Possess wearable and visually functional eyeglasses.

• Be in good general health, based on his/her knowledge.

• Require spectacle lens powers between -1.00 and -6.00 diopters sphere with no more than 1.00 diopter of refractive astigmatism and be willing to wear contact lenses in both eyes.

• Have manifest refraction Snellen visual acuities (VA) equal to or better than 20/25 in each eye.

• Upon completing the fitting process with the lenses to be worn in the study, have contact lens Snellen VA equal to or better than 20/30 in each eye.

Exclusion Criteria:

Subjects may not be enrolled in this study if any of the following apply: The subject is/has:

• Wearing lenses in a monovision modality and is unwilling to be fit with distance lenses in both eyes. NOTE: Subjects may not wear lenses in a monovision modality at any time during the study as it will interfere with the visual acuity analysis.

• Poor personal hygiene.

• Any active participation in another clinical trial within 30 days prior to this study.

• Currently pregnant (to the best of the subject's knowledge), is lactating or is planning a pregnancy within the next 3 months.

• A member, relative or household member of the investigator or of the investigational office staff.

• Has a known sensitivity to ingredients used in the over the counter contact lens lubricants approved for use in the study.

• Previous refractive surgery; or current or previous orthokeratology treatment.

• Is aphakic or psuedophakic.

• Ocular or systemic disease such as, but not limited to: anterior uveitis or iritis (past or present), glaucoma, Sjögren's syndrome, lupus erythematosus, sclerodermia, keratoconus or type II diabetes.

• The need for topical ocular medications or any medication which might interfere with contact lens wear or which would require the lenses to be removed during the day.

• The presence of clinically significant (grade 3 or 4) anterior segment abnormalities; inflammations such as iritis; or any infection of the eye, lids, or associated structures.

• A known history of corneal hypoesthesia (reduced corneal sensitivity), corneal ulcer, corneal infiltrates or fungal infections.

• A history of papillary conjunctivitis that has interfered with contact lens wear.

• Slit lamp findings that would contraindicate contact lens wear, including but not limited to:

• Pathological dry eye or associated dry eye symptoms with decreased tear levels and punctuate staining > Grade 2

• Pterygium

• Corneal scars within the visual axis

• Neovascularization or ghost vessels > 1.0 mm in from the limbus

• Giant papillary conjunctivitis (GPC) of > Grade 2

• Anterior uveitis or iritis

• Seborrheic eczema, seborrheic conjunctivitis or blepharitis

To be eligible to be randomized for study product a subject must have ALL of the Inclusion Criteria and have NONE of the exclusion criteria present.

To be eligible for lens dispensing (either Test or Control), the subject's study lens contact lens visual acuity must be equal to or better than 20/30 in each eye.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Objective Assessment: Ocular Response - Biomicroscopy	The primary safety endpoint are the objective slit lamp findings associated with the stenfilcon A contact lenses compared with those same findings reported as associated with the ocufilcon B contact lenses.; The incidence of biomicroscopy findings (0=not present, 4=severe) over the duration of the study with the highest reported grade was chosen for each unique eye. Biomicroscopy measurements were obtained at Baseline (baseline visit) and All Follow-Ups (week 1 visit, week 2 visit, month 1 visit, month 2 visit combined).The average grade for unique eyes with findings greater than 0 (none) is compared.	Change from baseline visit and all follow-ups visits
Primary	Comparison of Objective Findings - Number of Adverse Events in Unique Eyes	The primary safety endpoint in this evaluation will be a comparison of the objective findings of the number of adverse events in unique eyes associated with the stenfilcon A contact lenses compared with those same findings as associated with ocufilcon B contact lenses.; The number of adverse events over the duration of the study was reported for each unique eye (bilateral or unilateral). Observations for adverse events were reported for any occurrence after dispensing (dispensing visit) through end of month 3 visit (month 3 visit).	Any occurrence from dispensing to month 3 visit
Primary	Comparison of Objective Findings for Contact Lens Visual Acuities - Snellen 20/25 VA or Better	The primary efficacy endpoint are the contact lens Snellen visual acuities (VA) of 20/25 VA or better associated with stenfilcon A compared with those same visual acuities associated with ocufilcon B.; Snellen visual acuity (VA) examinations were performed at All Follow-up visits (week 1 visit, week 2 visit, month 1 visit, month 2 visit). The combined results of All Follow-up visits are compared.	week 1 visit, week 2 visit, month 1 visit, month 2 visit combined
Secondary	Subjective Assessment of Contact Lens Comfort - No Symptoms of Discomfort	The secondary efficacy endpoint is the subjective assessment of contact lens comfort associated with the stenfilcon A contact lens compared with the comfort associated with the ocufilcon B contact lens.; Subjective comfort assessment is related by the percent number of unique eyes that were reported to have no symptoms of discomfort (0=no symtoms reported) graded on a severity scale of the reported symptoms (0=no symptoms reported, 4=severe) that was experienced over the past month prior to baseline at the baseline visit (Baseline) and any symptoms of discomfort that was experienced since the previous study visit at each scheduled follow-up visit (Week 1, Week 2, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3).	Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3
Secondary	Evaluation of Average Lens Wearing Time - Average Daily Hours Worn	The secondary efficacy endpoint is the objective assessment of the lens average daily wearing times associated with the stenfilcon A compared with the lens average wearing times with the ocufilcon B contact lens. Objective average daily lens wearing time is measured in reported hours worn with the subject's habitual contact lenses recorded at baseline and after dispensing of study lenses recorded at Week 1, Week 2, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3.	Baseline, Week 1, Week 2, Month 1, Month 2, Month 3
