Contact Lenses for Visual Acuity
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests two types of daily disposable soft contact lenses: B+L Infuse spherical soft contact lenses and J&J ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day spherical soft contact lenses, to assess their impact on visual clarity. Participants will wear each lens type for a week to compare performance. The trial seeks individuals who regularly wear soft silicone hydrogel contact lenses and have stable vision correction needs. Ideal participants should have a prescription that remains unchanged and must wear their lenses for at least 6 hours a day, 5 days a week. As an unphased trial, this study offers participants the chance to contribute to research that could improve the comfort and effectiveness of contact lenses for all users.
Do I need to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial requires that you do not use any eye medications and do not have any eye infections. If you have any diseases or take medications that might interfere with contact lens wear, you may be excluded from the study. The protocol does not specify a general requirement to stop all medications, but it's best to discuss your specific situation with the study team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Studies have shown that B+L Infuse and J&J ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day soft contact lenses are generally well-tolerated. Some users of B+L Infuse lenses report morning discomfort, which may require disposal of the lenses. However, the risk of serious side effects remains low, particularly when lenses are not worn overnight.
J&J ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day lenses share a similar safety profile. Some users experience mild eye irritation or discomfort. Although rare, serious issues like eye sores can occur with any contact lens. Both types of lenses are designed for daytime use and should be discarded at the end of the day to minimize risks.
Overall, these lenses are considered safe when used as directed. Following care instructions is essential to minimize potential problems.12345Why are researchers excited about this trial?
Researchers are excited about these contact lenses because they offer a fresh approach to improving visual acuity. Unlike traditional contact lenses, which might prioritize basic comfort and vision correction, the B+L Infuse and J&J ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day lenses are designed to enhance comfort with advanced moisture retention technologies. This means they can potentially be worn longer and more comfortably throughout the day. Additionally, these lenses are daily disposables, which can improve hygiene and reduce the risk of eye infections compared to lenses that require cleaning and storage.
What evidence suggests that this trial's treatments could be effective for visual acuity?
This trial will compare B+L Infuse spherical soft contact lenses with J&J ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day spherical soft contact lenses. Studies have shown that B+L Infuse contact lenses can reduce dryness, enhancing comfort. They are designed to maintain eye moisture, ensuring clear vision throughout the day. Research indicates high satisfaction among users, likely due to their sustained comfort during extended wear.
For J&J ACUVUE OASYS 1-Day lenses, research highlights their HydraLuxe technology, which mimics natural tears to keep eyes moist and vision clear. These lenses are also known for maintaining comfort in dry conditions, ensuring clear vision all day. Both lens options in this trial aim to enhance vision and comfort, making them suitable for daily use.678910Who Is on the Research Team?

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for people aged 18-39 who regularly wear soft contact lenses and have a prescription between -1.00 D to -6.00 D in each eye with good visual acuity (20/25 or better). They must be willing to follow the study's instructions, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and not have worn rigid lenses recently.Inclusion Criteria
