    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Biomaterials Science

    Background:

    • Extended wear contact lenses offer convenience but require rigorous safety and efficacy evaluation.
    • New lens designs necessitate thorough assessment for patient tolerance and physiological impact.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the acceptability and safety of a new Softcon contact lens design for extended wear.
    • To monitor key ophthalmic parameters during prolonged use of the novel Softcon lens.

    Main Methods:

    • Forty-eight subjects were fitted with the new Softcon lens for extended wear.
    • Subjects underwent regular monitoring for up to two years, including visual acuity, keratometry, biomicroscopy, and refraction assessments.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • The Softcon lens demonstrated a high degree of acceptability among the subjects.
    • Fewer than three percent of participants exhibited significant changes in measured ophthalmic parameters during the study period.

    Conclusions:

    • The new Softcon lens design is highly acceptable for extended wear.
    • The lens appears to be safe and well-tolerated for long-term use, with minimal adverse effects observed.
