Trial Outcomes & Findings for Tear Film Evaluation of Dailies® AquaComfort Plus® Multifocal and Toric (NCT NCT02289742)

NCT ID: NCT02289742

Last Updated: 2016-07-26

Results Overview

A video was made to capture a visual demonstration of tear film characteristics in between blinks. The investigator graded contact lens surface wettability using a scale from 0 (fully wettable) to 3 (clearly visible distortions) at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 seconds post-blink by region (central, superior, nasal, inferior, and temporal). Three independent measurements (3 blinks) were carried out. An average was taken over the 3 measurements, 5 regions, and 5 time points. One eye contributed to the analysis.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Hour 12, each product

Population: This analysis population includes all randomized and exposed subjects with data at visit.

A video was made to capture a visual demonstration of tear film characteristics in between blinks. The investigator graded contact lens surface wettability using a scale from 0 (fully wettable) to 3 (clearly visible distortions) at 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 seconds post-blink by region (central, superior, nasal, inferior, and temporal). Three independent measurements (3 blinks) were carried out. An average was taken over the 3 measurements, 5 regions, and 5 time points. One eye contributed to the analysis.
