Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 to 35 years
  • All sexes
  • Healthy volunteers accepted
  • Adult

Who may be able to join

  • They are between 18 and 35 years of age (inclusive).
  • They understand their rights as a research subject and are willing and able to sign a Statement of Informed Consent.
  • They are willing and able to follow the protocol.
  • They are a 'neophyte' (i.e. someone who has not worn contact lenses previously, with the exception for the purposes of a trial fitting, lasting up to one week).
  • They have a contact lens spherical prescription between -1.00 to -6.25D (inclusive) based on the ocular refraction.
  • They have a cylindrical correction of -0.875DC or less in each eye based on the ocular refraction
Show all 13Show fewer
  • They own and habitually wear single vision spectacles used for both distance and near vision, including computer and digital device use.
  • Their single vision spectacles have a mean sphere equivalent within ±0.50D of that of the refraction found in the study for each eye (after having taken lens effectivity into account).
  • They are willing to be fitted with contact lenses and understand they may be randomized to either group.
  • They are willing to wear the contact lenses (if relevant) or spectacles for at least 8 hours per day, 5 days per week.
  • They typically use digital devices for a minimum of 4 hours per day, 5 days per week.
  • They agree not to change the spectacles they will wear for digital device use for the duration of the study.
  • They agree not to participate in other clinical research for the duration of the study.

Who cannot join

  • They have an ocular disorder which would normally contra-indicate contact lens wear.
  • They have a systemic disorder which would normally contra-indicate contact lens wear.
  • They are using any topical medication such as eye drops (including comfort drops) or ointment on a regular basis.
  • The spectacles they use for digital device viewing on the study have been made with specialist features for computer use, digital eye fatigue or are multifocal/bifocal.
  • They are aphakic.
  • They have had corneal refractive surgery.
Show all 12Show fewer
  • They have any corneal distortion resulting from previous hard or rigid lens wear or have keratoconus.
  • They are pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • They have any infectious disease which would, in the opinion of the investigator, contraindicate contact lens wear or pose a risk to study personnel; or they have any immunosuppressive disease (e.g. HIV), or a history of anaphylaxis or severe allergic reaction.
  • They have evidence of a heterotropia or decompensating heterotropia on cover test.
  • They have a history of having been prescribed prism in their spectacles (by self report).
  • They have taken part in any other contact lens or care solution clinical trial or research, within two weeks prior to starting this study.

About this study

Official title: A Clinical Study of the Biofinity Energys Soft Contact Lens in Users of Digital Devices

The aim of this work is to investigate the clinical performance and subjective acceptance of the comfilcon A asphere contact lens when compared to single-vision spectacles in subjects who have never worn contact lenses and who use digital devices (such as phones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers) for at least 4 hours per day on at least 5 days per week.

Read the detailed description

The aim of this clinical work is to compare the clinical performance and subjective acceptance of comfilcon A asphere contact lens when compared to single-vision spectacles in subjects who use digital devices (phones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers) for at least 4 hours per day on at least 5 days per week. Subjects will be randomized to use either their habitual spectacles or the study contact lenses for two months.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing comfilcon A asphere and Spectacles in people with Ametropia, run by CooperVision, Inc. at 1 site in United Kingdom.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 13 inclusion and 12 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Apr 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United Kingdom. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 13 Apr 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Symptom of Burning (time frame: Baseline). The study lists 48 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Apr 2021.
