Plain English summary of protocol

Background and study aims
Presbyopia is the gradual loss of your eyes' ability to focus on nearby objects. It's a natural, often annoying part of ageing. Presbyopia usually becomes noticeable in your early to mid-40s and continues to worsen until around age 65.
Multifocal contact lenses (contact lenses that correct both distance and near vision for people who need reading glasses) come in very different designs some giving better vision at near or at distance. In order to improve this type of contact lenses it is important to compare how well different designs are tolerated by patient and correct vision.
The study compares the level of vision satisfaction and the visual acuity achieved by two different contact lenses designs currently available.

Who can participate?
Adults who are at least 40 years old and who have healthy eyes and are current multifocal contact lens wearers.

What does the study involve?
Each participant attends the clinic on three occasions. At the first visit after being screened and enrolled in the study, their eyes are examined and they are fitted and dispensed with one of the two study contact lenses (which lens pair is used first is randomly determined like tossing a coin). The second visit takes place one week after the first, during that visit the contact lens which the participant wore are assessed. Then, the participant is fitted and dispensed with the other contact lens pair, which they wear for one week. At the third and final visit, the contact lenses that have been worn are assessed and the participant is discharged from the study.

What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
The participants will have the opportunity to try two different types of multifocal contact lenses which they may prefer to their own multifocal contact lenses and at a later date may decide to opt for these lenses. The two contact lens types are CE marked and therefore the risks are no different to them wearing their own contact lenses.

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedPresbyopia vision correction using multifocal contact lenses
InterventionThe study is a cross over study, the participants wear two CE-marked multifocal contact lenses each for a period of 7 +2/-0 days:
1. clariti® 1-day multifocal (test)
2. MyDay® multifocal combined with clariti® 1-day multifocal (control)
The order of testing will be randomised using a standard computerised randomisation software.
