Real-World in-Home Use Test Evaluation of a Unique Multi-Purpose Solution for Planned Replacement Soft Contact Lens...

Area of Science:

• Ophthalmology
• Optometry
• Ocular Surface Disease

Background:

• Contact lens (CL) wear is associated with ocular dryness and discomfort, leading to high discontinuation rates.
• CL care solutions aim to mitigate these issues by maintaining ocular surface homeostasis and enhancing comfort.
• Biotrue Hydration Plus Multi-Purpose Solution (BHP MPS) is formulated to improve the CL wear experience.

Purpose of the Study:

• To evaluate the real-world performance of BHP MPS in soft CL wearers.
• To assess user satisfaction with CL cleanliness, comfort, dryness prevention, hydration, and gentleness.
• To determine the likelihood of recommending BHP MPS to other CL users.

Main Methods:

• An in-home, 7-day use test involving 435 adult soft CL users.
• Participants completed a survey rating their experience with BHP MPS.
• Data were analyzed using exact binomial tests to assess agreement with key attributes.

Main Results:

• 98.9% of participants were satisfied with CL feel after using BHP MPS.
• Significant improvements were reported in CL comfort (91.7%), cleanliness (96.8%), dryness prevention (93.6%), and hydration (94.7%).
• 94.0% would recommend BHP MPS, with no adverse events reported.

Conclusions:

• BHP MPS demonstrated strong performance in a real-world setting for soft CL wearers.
• The solution effectively improved key criteria for an enhanced CL wear experience.
• User feedback indicates high satisfaction and a strong likelihood of recommendation.
