Abstract
PURPOSE:
The
objective of the investigation was to show that, because of their overall
properties, Acuvue® Oasys™ with Hydraclear® Plus brand (senofilcon A) silicone
hydrogel contact lenses achieve excellent ocular tissue tolerance during
long-term daily wear.
METHODS:
The
2-year investigation was a prospective daily wear analysis of Acuvue® Oasys™
with Hydraclear® Plus (senofilcon A) silicone hydrogel contact lenses replaced
every 2 weeks and used in conjunction with a representative range of care
systems.
RESULTS:
The
2-year results compared with the subjects' baseline ocular status on entering
the study revealed:
CONCLUSIONS:
The
quantification of the effects on the ocular tissues of 2 years of daily wear of
senofilcon A, by mainly previously successful daily soft contact lens wearers,
showed an excellent biocompatibility. The results support the hypothesis that
senofilcon A contact lenses, when worn on a 2-week daily wear regimen, maintain
excellent long-term ocular tissue tolerance.
