Single-Center Clinical Evaluation of Daily Disposable Contact Lenses

The objective of the study is to compare the overall subjective preference of filcon II 3
daily disposable silicone hyrogel contact lenses compared to etafilcon A and nelfilcon A
daily disposable conventional hydrogel contact lenses.

Double-masked, randomised, controlled crossover trial. Subjects were randomized to wear one
or the other of the conventional hydriogel lenses; all subjects wore the filcon II 3 lenses.
The first randomly assigned lens type was worn for 3 days, with daily replacement, followed
by 3 days of wear of the other lens type, with daily replacement.
