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 extended wear.
METHODS:
The
investigation was a 2-year, prospective, extended wear investigation of senofilcon A silicone hydrogel
contact lenses worn for up to 6 nights without removal.
RESULTS:
The
2-year results compared with the subjects' baseline ocular statuses on entering
the study revealed:
CONCLUSIONS:
The
quantification of the effects on the ocular tissues of 2 years of extended wear
of senofilcon A, by mainly previously successful
daily soft contact lens wearers, found an excellent biocompatibility. The
results support the hypothesis that senofilcon A contact lenses, when worn on a 6-night/7-day extended wear
regimen, maintain excellent long-term ocular tissue tolerance.
