Methods RCT, cross‐over design
Participants Inclusion criteria: age 18 years or older; contact lens spherical prescription between −1.00 and −6.00 D; cylindrical correction of −0.75 D or less; can attain at least 0.10 logMAR; currently use SCL or have done so in the previous 6 months; willing to wear SCL at least 5 days per week and for at least 8 hours per day
Exclusion criteria: ocular or systemic disorder or treatments that would normally contraindicate contact lens wear; previous cataract or refractive surgery; previous hard contact lens wear; pregnant or lactating
Interventions Somofilcon A
  • material: silicon hydrogel

  • replacement frequency: daily


Nelfilcon A II 2
  • material: hydrogel

  • replacement frequency: daily


Omafilcon A ll 2
  • material: hydrogel

  • replacement frequency: daily

Outcomes Primary outcome:
  • biomicroscopy (scale 0 to 4, 0.25 steps, 0 = normal, 4 = severe)


Secondary outcomes:
  • lens surface deposition, wettability (grades 0 to 4; 0 = normal, 1 = trace, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe)

  • lens wettability (grades 0 to 4; 0 = normal, 1 = trace, 2 = mild, 3 = moderate, 4 = severe)

  • VA (logMAR)

  • comfort (scale 0 to 100; 0 = causes pain, cannot be tolerated, 100 = excellent, cannot be felt)

  • dryness (scale 0 to 100; 0 = extremely poor, high levels of dryness, 100 = excellent, no dryness)

  • vision (scale 0 to 100; 0 = unacceptable, lens cannot be worn, 100 = excellent)
