Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This is a prospective, bilateral, open-label, randomised clinical trial with participants wearing one of 4 commercially available contact lenses (AIR OPTIX [Trade mark] Aqua, NIGHT & DAY [Registered trade mark], ACUVUE OASYS [Trade mark], PureVision [Trade mark]) in conjunction with an investigational contact lens care solution over a 3 month period on a daily wear basis.
Participants will be randomised to wear one of 4 commercially available contact lenses. There are visits at 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months from initial lens fitting. Contact lens cases will be collected at the 1 month and 3 months visits for analysis.
each contact lens group will have a minimum of 40 participants.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 238438 0
Subjective ocular comfort with various lenses and investigational contact lens care solution. Subjective ocular comfort will be measured via questionnaire
Timepoint [1] 238438 0
Baseline, 2 weeks, 1 month and 3 months of contact lens wear
Secondary outcome [1] 244939 0
Ocular response with various lenses and investigational contact lens care solution. Ocular response will be measured using a slit-lamp biomicroscope.

N.B. Systemic antihistamines are allowed on an ‘as needed basis’, provided they are not used -prophylactically during the trial
-Eye surgery within 12 weeks immediately prior to enrolment for this trial;
-Previous corneal refractive surgery;
-Contraindications to contact lens wear;
-Known allergy or intolerance to ingredients in any of the study products;
