title: A clinical evaluation of frequent replacement contact lenses on patients currently wearing premium reusable daily wear soft contact lenses.
abstract: A 3-month clinical investigation was undertaken to evaluate a population of premium reusable daily wear soft contact lens wearers when refitted with soft contact lenses worn on a daily wear schedule and replaced every 2 weeks. In addition to an initial visit, follow-up visits occurred at 2-, 4-, 8-, and 12 weeks. Areas of assessment included vision, lens fitting performance, ocular physiology, subjective comfort and handling responses and lens surface deposits and damage. Of the 51 patients recruited, 50 were successfully trial fit and enrolled. During the course of the investigation, all subjects utilized a multipurpose care regimen without the addition of an enzymatic cleaner. Upon conclusion of the investigation, 75.0 percent of the subjects chose to continue wearing the study lenses on a 2-week frequent replacement basis.
