Ocular health of children wearing daily disposable contact lenses over a 6-year period.

Purpose: To report on the ocular health and safety of children fit with soft hydrogel daily-disposable contact lenses, and followed for 6-years in a double-masked clinical trial investigating the performance of a dual-focus contact lens designed to control myopia progression.

Methods: Children aged 8-12 years, naïve to contact lens wear, were enrolled across four international sites. During years 1-3, children were randomised to either MiSight® 1 day or Proclear® 1 day (both omafilcon A, CooperVision, Inc.

Predisposing factors for solution-induced corneal staining.

Purpose: To evaluate predisposing factors in subjects susceptible to solution-induced corneal staining (SICS).

Methods: Four hundred forty-six existing soft contact lens wearers were randomly fitted with one of two study lenses (lotrafilcon B, CIBA Vision, or omafilcon A, CooperVision) and used a hydrogen peroxide care system (Clear Care, CIBAVision) for a 1-month period. Each subject was then challenged with the same lenses presoaked in a multipurpose solution (ReNu MultiPlus, Bausch & Lomb) and assessed after approximately 2 h to be categorized as either "stainers" or "non-stainers" based on whether they showed a classic SICS pattern (diffuse punctate corneal staining in three or more peripheral quadrants).
