Description
Summary:ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess the wear experience of silicone hydrogel daily disposable contact lenses with water surface technology over a long day of lens wear. MethodsThirty-five soft contact lens wearers were refit with the daily disposable study lenses and participants scored their initial impressions of comfort, vision and satisfaction using a visual analog scale (VAS). Participants used their smart phones to complete surveys of comfort and vision on a scale of 1-10 at 10, 12, 14, and 16 hours of lens wear on 5 weeknights. A participant score for each time point was calculated by averaging the evening responses. End of study VAS surveys of symptoms were also completed. ResultsMedian (Interquartile Range) VAS initial impression scores were 99.00 (12.00) for quality of vision, 98.00 (16.00) for comfort, and 100.00 (13.00) for satisfaction. The end of study surveys found end of day median VAS scores of 87.00 (19.00) for end of day quality of vision and 75.00 (24.50) for end of day comfort. The median score for overall quality of vision was 93.00 (14.00) and for overall comfort was 93.00 (16.50). The median score for end of day dryness was 37.00 (55.00) and overall dryness was 13.00 (34.00). ConclusionThe daily disposable lenses with water surface treatment used in this study maintained high median scores for comfort and quality of vision for up to 16 hours of wear.
