Trial Outcomes & Findings for Daily Disposable Contact Lens Tear Film Study (NCT NCT01473160)

NCT ID: NCT01473160

Last Updated: 2013-04-17

Results Overview

Corrected visual acuity was measured with a digitized logMAR (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution) chart. A logMAR acuity of 0.0 is considered normal distance eyesight.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 16 hours after lens insertion

Population: All enrolled participants

The pre-lens tear film is the layer of tears located on top of the contact lens (i.e., between the eye lid and the contact lens). The time required for a dry spot to appear on the corneal surface after blinking is referred to as the tear film break-up time. Circular images were projected onto the corneal surface using a CA-1000 topographer, and the tear film reflection was observed on a 30-inch flat panel monitor. PL-NITBUT was recorded at the first sign of image distortion. Three measurements were taken and averaged together. A higher number represents a lengthening in the tear film break up time.

Population: All enrolled participants

The tear meniscus height, i.e., the distance between the line of reflection along the top of the tear prism to the edge of the eyelid, was measured by the investigator using a digital slit lamp.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 16 hours after lens insertion

Population: All enrolled participants

Ocular surface temperature (OST) was recorded by the investigator using a dynamic, non-contact, infrared thermography camera. The average OST (encompassing the wear of a contact lens) was taken at the center of the cornea, at the temporal upper limbal area, and over the central 5 mm2 of the cornea, 2 seconds post-blink.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Up to 16 hours after lens insertion

Population: All enrolled participants

Overall comfort was assessed by the participant and recorded on a scale from 0 (poor) to 10 (excellent) in response to the question, "How comfortable is the lens feeling at present?"
