What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial focuses on testing how well individuals satisfied with their Acuvue Oasys contact lenses can transition to Precision 7 contact lenses. The main goal is to determine if these new lenses provide comfort and fit comparable to the old ones. It suits those who have worn Acuvue Oasys lenses for at least three months in the past year, have astigmatism (a common vision issue where the eye doesn't focus light evenly), and are satisfied with their current lenses. Participants should be prepared to try the new lenses daily and have a recent glasses prescription. As an unphased trial, this study offers a unique opportunity to explore new lens options and contribute to advancements in vision care.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot participate if you are currently using isotretinoin-derivatives or ocular medications.

What prior data suggests that Precision 7 contact lenses are safe for contact lens wearers?

Research has shown that Precision 7 contact lenses are generally safe to use. One study found that users can wear these lenses for up to 6 nights and 7 days with few negative effects on the eyes, indicating that serious issues, such as eye infections, are rare. The lenses are designed to be comfortable and provide clear vision for up to 16 hours, suggesting that most people find them easy to wear. Overall, current data indicates that users tolerate these lenses well. ^{1 2 3 4 5}

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about Precision 7 contact lenses because they aim to enhance comfort for contact lens wearers, particularly those previously satisfied with Acuvue Oasys lenses. Unlike standard options that focus primarily on vision correction, Precision 7 lenses are designed with advanced materials that may better conform to the eye, potentially reducing irritation and dryness. This innovation could offer a more comfortable and satisfying wearing experience, making daily wear more pleasant for users.

What evidence suggests that Precision 7 contact lenses are effective for contact lens comfort?

Studies have shown that Precision 7 contact lenses provide up to 16 hours of comfort and clear vision, even after a week of use. The lenses have passed all safety and effectiveness tests, proving their safety for wear. Designed for weekly replacement, they remain fresh and comfortable. Overall, they offer excellent comfort and vision quality, making them an excellent choice for those considering a switch from other contact lenses. ^{1 2 5 6 7}

Published Research Related to This Trial

In a study of 74 children aged 8 to 12, MiSight contact lenses were found to be a safe option for myopia correction, with no serious or significant adverse events reported over a 2-year period.

While there were some nonsignificant adverse events and a few discontinuations in the MiSight group, the overall safety profile was comparable to that of distance single-vision spectacles, indicating that both options are effective for managing myopia.
