Contact Lens Wettability

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to compare the wettability of contact lenses disinfected with three marketed contact lens care solutions.

Official Title
-----------------
The Impact of Short Term Wearing Time on In Vivo and Ex Vivo Wettability

Conditions
-----------------
Ametropia

Intervention / Treatment
-----------------
* Device: soft contact lens
* Drug: Soft contact lens multipurpose disinfection regimen


Participation Criteria

Eligibility Criteria
-----------------
Inclusion Criteria: Has had an oculo-visual examination in the last two years. Is at least 18 years old and has full legal capacity to volunteer or is at least 16 years old, has a parent or guardian's permission to participate in the study and has read the Information and Consent Letter for adolescents. 4. Has read and understood the Information Consent Letter (Appendix II). 5. Is willing and able to follow participant instructions for product usage and meet the protocol-specified schedule of follow-up visits. 6. Has a refractive error that is correctable with the prescription of the available study lenses. 7. Has a refractive error that is correctable to at least 20/25 distance visual acuity with contact lenses in each eye. 8. Has acceptable fit with the study lenses. 9. Has clear corneas, and ocular clinical findings are considered normal. Exclusion Criteria: Has any systemic disease that may affect ocular health. Is using any systemic or topical medications that may affect ocular health. Has any ocular pathology or severe insufficiency of lacrimal secretion (dry eyes) that may affect the wearing of contact lenses. Has any clinically significant lid or conjunctival abnormalities, meibomian gland dysfunction, neovascularization, corneal scars or corneal opacities. Has limbal injection, bulbar injection or corneal staining that, in the investigator's opinion, is clinically significant. Has pinguecula and/or pterygium that, in the investigator's judgement, makes contact lens wear inadvisable. Has refractive astigmatism of more than 0.75 D. Has corneal distortion resulting from rigid lens wear. Is aphakic. Has undergone corneal refractive surgery. Is participating in any other type of clinical or research study. Is pregnant or lactating.

What is the study measuring?
-----------------
Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| To investigate the impact of wearing time and contact lens care solutions on in |  |  | 
| vivo and ex vivo wettability of currently marketed contact lenses |  |  | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| To determine if there is a correlation between in vivo wettability, ex vivo |  |  | 
| wettability and in-eye comfort. To determine if comfort and wettability vary |  |  | 
| between symptomatic and asymptomatic lens wearers. |  |  |
