Evaluation of daily disposable senofilcon A contact lenses in a symptomatic population

Purpose: To evaluate the comfort performance of ACUVUE OASYS (R) 1-Day with HydraLuxeTM Technology among symptomatic contact lens wearers by using Contact Lens User Experience (CLUE) comfort scores and Contact Lens Dry Eye Questionnaire 8 (CLDEQ-8) discomfort and dryness scores. Methods: Three clinical trials evaluated comfort and dryness when refitting symptomatic contact lens wearers to ACUVUE OASYS (R) 1-Day with HydraLuxeTM lenses. This analysis combined the CLUE comfort and CLDEQ-8 scores obtained at baseline and 2-week follow-up and compared average scores between visits. Subjects were grouped by habitual lens modality (daily disposable or daily wear reusable) and habitual lens material (silicone hydrogel or hydrogel). The analysis included data from 107 subjects. Results: Significant increases in mean CLUE comfort scores between baseline and 2-week follow-up occurred in all subject groups across habitual lens modality and material, indicating an improvement in overall comfort. CLUE comfort score improved clinically (& GE;5-point increase) among 75.7% of subjects (81/107). Similarly, significant decrease in mean CLDEQ-8 scores between baseline and 2-week follow-up occurred in all subject groups, indicating a decrease in the prevalence of dryness and discomfort symptoms. CLDEQ-8 score improved clinically (& GE;3-point reduction) among 82.2% of subjects (88/107). A majority of subjects (57.0%) became asymptomatic (CLDEQ-8 score & LE; 11 points) after 2 weeks of bilateral wear. Conclusion: Refitting symptomatic contact lens patients to ACUVUE OASYS (R) 1-Day with HydraLuxeTM can improve overall comfort and reduce symptoms of dryness and discomfort, irrespective of the previous lens modality or habitual lens material.

Automated summary

A study evaluated the comfort performance of refitting symptomatic contact lens wearers to ACUVUE OASYS (R) 1-Day lenses with HydraLuxeTM technology. The results showed that wearing these lenses significantly improved overall comfort and reduced symptoms of dryness and discomfort.
