Participant Flow

Upon enrollment in the study, patients received Hydra-PEG coated fluorosilicone acrylate RGP contact lenses. Assignment to the Tangible Boost or Control group occurred after 1 month of contact lens wear, on day 30. 4 participants that did not report back for visit 3 on day 30 were excluded from the study prior to assignment to a group.

Measure
Tangible Boost
Participants will treat their lenses with Tangible Boost after 30 days and again after 60 days. Tangible Boost: Participants will treat their lenses with Tangible Boost, a kit designed to maintain the wettability of Hydra-PEG treated fluorosilicone acrylate lenses.
Control
Participants will treat their lenses with a placebo "Tangible Boost" kit containing saline after 30 days and again after 60 days. Placebo saline: Participants will treat their lenses with a placebo "Tangible Boost" kit, which contains saline in place of the Tangible Boost solution.
Unassigned
Subjects that did not report back for visit 3 and were therefore not assigned to a treatment group.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 day after treatment (day 31), final assessment (day 90)

Population: All participants that were assigned to a study arm.

Corneal staining with lissamine green was used to identify damage to the corneal cells, which may have been caused by the contact lenses or treatments in the study. 5 regions in each eye were scored on a scale of 0-4, resulting in a total possible range of 0-20. Left and right eye scores were averaged for each subject. A lower score indicates less corneal damage.
