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

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| questionnaire addressing subjective comfort and wear time | Subjects rated on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 was 'poor' and 10 was 'excellent'. | subjects will be followed-up for three months | 
| limbal redness - ocular biomicroscopy | Findings were graded based on a grading scale which ranged from 0 to 4, where 0 is none, 1 is trace, 2 is mild, 3 is moderate and 4 is severe. | subjects will be followed-up for three months | 
| corneal staining - ocular biomicroscopy | Findings were graded based on a grading scale which ranged from 0 to 4, where 0 is none, 1 is trace, 2 is mild, 3 is moderate and 4 is severe. | subjects will be followed-up for three months |
