Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study was to count and analyze the white blood cells in tear samples collected from study participants following sleep. The results from contact lens wearers were compared with the results from non-contact lens wearers.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objective of the study was to determine and compare the relative oxidative response of polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMNs), the relative cell adhesion response of PMNs, and the leukocyte population in tear samples collected from contact lens wearers and non-contact lens wearers. Tear samples were collected via a binocular eye-wash. The samples were processed, and a cell count was performed using a hemacytometer. Flow cytometry was used to determine the expression of different PMN cell markers before and after stimulation with bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS).

Lotrafilcon A

Lotrafilcon A contact lenses worn on a daily wear basis for 1 week, followed by 8 hours overnight wear in a replacement pair. After a 12-hour washout period, a new pair of lotrafilcon A contact lenses were dispensed for 4 weeks of daily wear, followed by 8 hours overnight wear.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Lotrafilcon A contact lens

Intervention Type DEVICE

Commercially marketed, silicone hydrogel, single-vision contact lens FDA-approved for daily and extended (overnight) wear for up to 30 nights.

Clear Care Cleaning and Disinfection Solution

Intervention Type DEVICE

Hydrogen peroxide-based contact lens care system for nightly cleaning and disinfection of study lenses

Lotrafilcon B

Lotrafilcon B contact lenses worn on a daily wear basis for 1 week, followed by 8 hours overnight wear in a replacement pair. After a 12-hour washout period, a new pair of lotrafilcon B contact lenses were dispensed for 4 weeks of daily wear, followed by 8 hours overnight wear.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Lotrafilcon B contact lens

Intervention Type DEVICE

Commercially marketed, silicone hydrogel, single-vision contact lens FDA-approved for daily or extended (overnight) wear up to 6 nights.

Clear Care Cleaning and Disinfection Solution

Intervention Type DEVICE

Hydrogen peroxide-based contact lens care system for nightly cleaning and disinfection of study lenses

No lens wear

No contact lens wear for the duration of the study. One 8-hour sleep at 1 week, followed by an 8-hour sleep 4 weeks later.
