Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
The justification for this study is to confirm the current safety and efficacy of the lens as compared to similar marketed devices and to address long-term safety and performance in users of the lens. The choice of comparator devices was made to assess the clinical performance of the Test lens 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 the Stenofilcon A sphere, toric or multifocal contact lens or similar marketed soft contact lens

What does the study involve?
A single-visit, observational study design has been chosen to reduce the burden on patients and doctors using the device, while assessing outcomes in a real-world environment.

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, and 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.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Potential benefits:
There may not be direct benefits to the subjects in this study, however, participation in the study may contribute to scientific information that may be used in the development of new contact lens products.

Potential risks:
The knowledge gained from this study may lead to important conclusions regarding the real-world safety and efficacy of this device. The potential risks for participating in this study are minimal, therefore the benefit-risk ratio is acceptable.
Participants will already be routinely wearing these lenses, and therefore this is considered a non-significant risk study. Routine, non-invasive procedures will be conducted in this study.

Where is the study run from?
Sierra Clinical Services (USA)

When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
August 2023 to June 2025

Who is funding the study?
Cooper Vision (USA)

Study acronymCV-23-68
Study hypothesisCurrent study hypothesis as of 07/03/2025:
The objective of this post-marketing study is to demonstrate acceptable safety and effectiveness (performance) of Stenfilcon A Sphere, Toric and Multifocal lenses compared with similar marketed state-of-the-art devices when used in the general population.

ConditionMyopia, astigmatism, hyperopia
InterventionThe potential participant will attend the clinic for one study visit wearing the study contact lenses and having worn the study contact lenses for at least 3 hours that day. 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 they identify any adverse event associated with wearing Comfilcon A contact lenses that may have occurred are identified and analysed.

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 [3]:
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
