Plain English summary of protocol
Background and study aims
The aim of this study is to confirm the current safety and effectiveness of sphere, toric, and multifocal lenses compared to similar marketed devices and to address the long-term safety and performance of daily wear in users of these lenses. The choice of lenses was made to assess the clinical performance of the test lenses against currently marketed state-of-the-art products for the same indication.
Who can participate?
Patients aged between 8 and 75 years old who are current wearers of CE-marked CooperVision test or control lenses. Equivalent private-label contact lenses can be included in either group (for at least 6 months)
What does the study involve?
The participants will attend the clinic for one study visit wearing the study test or control lenses. The visit will be about 2 hours long during which participants will complete a questionnaire, have their vision measured, the contact lens fit evaluated, and their eyes examined. In addition, the investigator will review participant clinical notes available at the practice site to identify any adverse events associated with wearing study test or control lenses.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
There may not be direct benefits to the participants, but participation may contribute to scientific information that may be used in the development of new contact lens products. The knowledge gained from this study may lead to important conclusions regarding the real-world safety and effectiveness of these lenses. The potential risks are minimal so the benefit-risk ratio is acceptable. Participants will already be routinely wearing these lenses so this is considered a non-significant risk study. Routine non-invasive procedures will be conducted in this study.
Where is the study run from?
Eurolens (UK)
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
December 2023 to April 2026

| Scientific title | This study aims to assess the post-market safety and performance of a range of contact lens types |
| Study objectives | The objective of this post-market study is to demonstrate acceptable safety and effectiveness (performance) of a range of CooperVision soft contact lens types compared with similar marketed devices, when used in the general population. |
| Ethics approval(s) |
Approved 02/07/2024, University Research Ethics Committees (URECs) (2nd Floor, The Christie Building, The University of Manchester, Oxford Road, Manchester, M13 9PL, United Kingdom; +44 (0)161 306 6000; urec1@manchester.ac.uk), ref: 2024-20572-36344 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Myopia, astigmatism, hyperopia, presbyopia |
| Intervention | Recruitment: Subjects will be recruited from the site's own patient listings based in England and Scotland. Consenting: Informed consent shall be obtained in writing from adult subjects, as well as assent and parental permission/consent from minors and their parent or legal guardian. The process shall be performed by an appropriately trained/delegated study member and will be documented before any procedure specific to the clinical investigation is carried out. The study members will be trained in the conduct of clinical research, show willingness to follow the study protocol and will be trained in GCP and the study protocol before commencing the study. The potential participant will attend the clinic for one study visit wearing the study test or control lenses. The visit will be about 2 hours long during which participants will be consented to participate in the study, complete a questionnaire, have their vision measured, the contact lens fit evaluated, and their eyes examined. In addition, the investigator will review participant clinical notes available at the practice site to ensure that any adverse events associated with wearing study tests or control lenses that may have occurred are identified and analysed. Please find below a list of the contact lenses ‘or similar’ tested: Avaira Vitality Sphere Proclear Sphere Biomedics 55 Asphere Biomedics Now Sphere Avaira Vitality Toric Proclear Toric and Toric XR Biomedics Toric Proclear Multifocal and Mulitfocal XR Proclear Multifocal Toric Clariti 1 day Daily Disposable Sphere Biomedics 1 Day Extra-1 Day Sphere Proclear - 1 Day – Sphere Live 1 day Clariti 1 day Daily Disposable Toric Biomedics 1 Day Toric and EXTRA Toric Clariti 1 day Daily Disposable Multifocal Proclear 1 Day Multifocal The acceptance and performance of the contact lenses will be tested for efficacy as per ISO11980-2012: 1. Measurement of contact lens logMAR visual acuity 2. Subjective rating of comfort, vision and handling 3. Subjective rating of contact lens fit and contact lens surface characteristics The performance will be tested for safety as per ISO11980-2012: 1. Identification of ocular adverse events related to contact lens wear 2. Measurement of spectacle logMAR visual acuity 3. Assessment of the ocular tissues and ratings as per ISO11980-2012 scales |
