Purpose
To evaluate the tolerability of and subject and investigator satisfaction with delefilcon A (DAILIES TOTAL1®) daily disposable contact lenses in first-time contact lens wearers.Methods
This European multicenter, open-label, single-arm, two-week trial enrolled first-time contact lens wearers and fitted them with delefilcon A contact lenses. Assessments were made at dispensing and at Weeks 1 and 2. Subject-reported outcomes included comfort, quality of vision, convenience, and intent to purchase, which were ranked by agreement responses. Investigator-reported outcomes included slit-lamp biomicroscopy findings and lens fit satisfaction.Results
Ninety-two subjects were included in the per protocol dataset. Mean scores at Weeks 1 and 2 for subject-reported quality of vision and ocular comfort were significantly higher with delefilcon A contact lenses than with the subjects’ habitual spectacles during the day, at the end of the day, and overall (all p?≤?0.02). Ninety-one percent of subjects reported that their study lenses were more comfortable than expected, 98% agreed that they were convenient to use, and 92% were interested in purchasing the lenses (all p?<?0.001). Investigators reported that study lenses had an acceptable fit in at least 97% of subjects.Conclusions
Practitioners can expect favorable outcomes when transitioning first-time contact lens wearers from spectacles to delefilcon A daily disposable contact lenses. 相似文献2.

PurposeTo gain a better understanding of eye care professionals’ (ECPs) perceptions regarding the benefits of silicone hydrogel (SiH) daily disposable contact lenses (DDCL), particularly with respect to health, comfort and patient satisfaction.MethodsA survey was conducted with 300 ECPs in the United States, United Kingdom and Japan during November 2017. The survey comprised 34 statements relating to SiH DDCLs, to which the ECPs provided their level of agreement using a 6 point Likert scale. A minimum of 70% agreement was set to define majority agreement. Categories of statements included Health, Comfort, Patient Experience, and Standard of Care.ResultsECPs rated the highest levels of agreement to perceptions within the Patient Experiences and Health categories. The six statements receiving the highest ratings were “Silicone hydrogel 1 day lenses satisfy today’s patients’ demanding lifestyles” (93% agreement); “Silicone hydrogel 1 day lenses are the best choice to safeguard my patients’ eye health related to contact lens wear” (92%); “Silicone hydrogel 1 day lenses provide the best benefits to my patients” (92%); “Silicone hydrogel 1 day lenses provide better long term eye health for my patients than hydrogel 1 day lenses” (91%); “Silicone hydrogel is the healthiest lens material for my daily disposable patients” (90%); and “Silicone hydrogel 1 day lenses provide a better wearing experience for my patients than hydrogel 1 day lenses” (90%).ConclusionECPs perceive that SiH DDCLs offer long-term eye health and comfort for the patient and although the ECPs surveyed would not necessarily prescribe SiH DDCLs to all their patients, they would prescribe them to most of their patients. The results support the premise that while ECPs consider SiH 1 day contact lenses as the current “standard of care”; the principal barrier continues to be the perceived higher cost of these lenses. 相似文献

PurposeTo investigate compliance with daily disposable contact lens (DDCL) wear and investigate re-use of lenses according to country and DDCL material worn.MethodsOptometrists invited eligible DDCL patients from their practices to participate in a survey on DDCL wear in Australia, Norway, the United Kingdom (UK) and the United States (US). Eligible participants completed an online or paper version of the survey.Results805 participants completed the survey (96% online): Australia 13%, Norway 32%, UK 17%, US 38%. The median age was 38 years; 66% were female. Silicone hydrogel (SiHy) DDCLs were worn by 14%. Overall, 9% were non-compliant with DDCL replacement; Australia 18%, US 12%, UK 7% and Norway 4%. There were no differences with respect to sex, years of contact lens wear experience or DDCL material (SiHy versus hydrogels). The primary reason for re-use was “to save money” (60%). Re-use of DDCLs resulted in inferior comfort at insertion and prior to lens removal (p = 0.001). 75% reported occasional napping and 28% reported sleeping overnight for at least one night in the preceding month, while wearing their DDCLs.ConclusionNon-compliance with replacement of DDCLs occurred in all countries investigated; the rate was highest in Australia and lowest in Norway. Re-use of DDCLs was associated with reduced comfort. DDCL wearers often reported wearing lenses overnight. It is important for optometrists to counsel their patients on the importance of appropriate lens wear and replacement for DDCLs. 相似文献

PurposeTo examine the annualised waste and end-of-life disposal options with two representative soft contact lens (CL) modalities.MethodsThe component parts of two representative soft CL modalities were catalogued, separated, weighed and inspected for material identification: somofilcon A soft CLs (clariti elite, CooperVision Inc.) used with multi-purpose solution (MPS) (All in one Light, CooperVision Inc.) and somofilcon A CLs (clariti 1 day, CooperVision Inc). Using a model that assumed compliant wear and care of CLs, the mass of material solid waste generated by CL use over a year was calculated. Disposal options were explored using household and specialist recycling streams in order to develop recommendations for responsible disposal of CL waste.ResultsFull-time daily disposable (DD) CL wear generates 1.06 kg of waste annually compared to 0.83 kg generated by reusable-monthly replacement daily wear (‘reusable’) CLs. Plastic was the dominant material in both modalities. With full-time use of DD CLs, 64% of waste by mass was plastic blister trays. For full-time use of reusable CLs, where figures from lens and MPS packaging are combined, plastics accounted for 67% of waste by mass. MPS bottles alone made up almost half the waste (45%) associated with full-time reusable CL wear.ConclusionFull-time DD wear generates 27% more waste annually than full-time reusable lens wear. Reusable CL wearers can recycle 78% of waste at home. DD lens wearers have access to recycling options that allow them to recycle 100% of CL related waste. Full-time CL lens wear represents just 0.20–0.26% of the 412 kg of household waste generated per person, per year in the United Kingdom. Worn CLs should never be disposed of down the sink or lavatory. CL wearers should be aware of responsible end-of-life recycling and disposal options for all CL waste. 相似文献

Although the first silicone hydrogel contact lenses introduced onto the world contact lens market in 1999 held approval for both daily wear and extended wear use, the latter modality was promoted much more heavily by the manufacturers. The first silicone hydrogel lenses specifically promoted for daily wear were introduced in 2003. Data that we have gathered from annual contact lens fitting surveys demonstrate an immediate increase in market share whereby this lens type now represents more than one-third of soft lens fits in the United Kingdom. The success of this lens category is attributed to the health and safety benefits of silicone hydrogel materials and the positive impact of lens manufacturers by way of the effective marketing and distribution of these products. 相似文献

Patterns of prescribing daily disposable contact lenses in the UK were determined by mining through data gathered from annual contact lens fitting surveys conducted over the past 12 years. Spherical, toric and multifocal design daily disposable lenses represent a substantial proportion of all contact lenses prescribed, reflecting the significant ocular health and lifestyle advantages offered by this lens category. 相似文献

PurposeTo evaluate the changes in corneal epithelial thickness and corneal anterior and posterior curvatures during the day, and the effect of wearing daily disposable soft contact lenses.MethodsThirty-two healthy volunteers were enrolled in a randomized crossover study. At the baseline visit, corneal and epithelial thickness maps (OCT; Optovue, Inc., Fremont, CA, USA) and keratometric measurements (Pentacam, Oculus, GmbH, Germany) were performed in the morning and in the afternoon (8 hours after). Then, each subject was fitted with the following brands of daily disposable contact lenses in random order: Dailies Total 1 (Delefilcon A), Dailies Aqua Comfort (Nelfilcon A), TruEye (Narafilcon A) and Biotrue Oneday (Nesofilcon A) on different days. All fitted lenses had a power of −3.00 diopters (D). Measurements were repeated before putting the contact lens on and after an-eight-hour contact lens wear.ResultsWith no lens wear, the anterior topographic indices showed significant steepening [Kflat: p < 0.0001; Ksteep: p < 0.0001 and maximum keratometry value (Kmax): p = 0.04] and the corneal thickness significantly decreased in the central and temporal portion of the cornea in the afternoon. There were no significant changes in the posterior topographical indices and corneal epithelial thickness. With contact lens wear, no significant change occurred in the corneal and epithelial thickness, and the anterior and posterior curvatures during the day (all p values >0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the epithelial thickness among the groups wearing different contact lens types (p > 0.05).ConclusionsAnterior corneal topographic indices steepen depending on the natural diurnal variations. Daily wear of soft contact lenses appears to mask this steepening. The corneal epithelial thickness is not affected by daily disposable soft contact lenses. 相似文献

Purpose
Nanosilver-silicone hydrogel (NAgSiH) composites for contact lenses were synthesized to asses the antimicrobial effects.Methods
Silicone hydrogel (SiH) films were synthesized followed by impregnation in silver nitrate solutions (10, 20, 30, 40, 60, 80 ppm) and in-situ chemical reduction of silver ions using sodium borohydride (NaBH4). The silver nano particles (AgNPS) were identified by UV–vis absorption spectroscopy, Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) mapping and EDX spectrum. Physico-mechanical and chemical properties of NAgSIH films were studied. The antimicrobial effect of the hydrogels against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus was evaluated. The numbers of viable bacterial cells on NAgSiH surface or in solution compared to control SiH were examined.Results
The NAgSiH films were successfully synthesized. FTIR results indicated that AgNPS had no effect on the bulk structure of the prepared SiH films. From TGA analysis, NAgSiH(R80) and SiH(R0) films had the same maximum decomposition temperature (404 °C). UV–vis absorption spectroscopy and EDX mapping and spectrum emphasized that AgNPS were in spherical shape. The maximum absorption wavelength of NAgSiH films were around 400 nm. The light transmittance decreased as the concentration of AgNPS increased, but still greater than 90% at wavelength around 555 nm. The Young’s modulus increased gradually from 1.06 MPa of SiH(R0) to highest value 1.38 MPa of NAgSiH(R80). AgNPS incorporated into SiH films reduced the bacterial cell growth and prevented colonization. Groups NAgSiH(R60,R80) demonstrated an excellent reduction in bacterial viability in solution and on the SiH surface.Conclusions
NAgSiH composites were successfully synthesized and possessed an excellent antimicrobial effects. 相似文献11.

PurposeReplacing soft contact lenses (CLs) on a daily basis brings a number of advantages, most notably, reduced exposure to deposits, disinfectants, allergens, and other contaminants. This retrospective study estimated the prevalence of problems in current wearers of reusable soft CLs and tested the effect of refitting “problem” patients with daily disposable (DD) hydrogel lenses.MethodsPrevalence was estimated from 398 current reusable CL wearers for: frequent/constant discomfort or dryness, ≥2 h of uncomfortable wear, ≥grade 2 conjunctival hyperaemia (0–4), or ≥grade 3 corneal staining (0–15). In the second part of the study, 217 reusable CL wearers classified as problem patients were randomly refitted with DD lenses manufactured from one of two materials: etafilcon A (n = 96) or nelfilcon A (n = 121) and reassessed 1 week later.ResultsThirty-nine percent (154/398) had some qualifying criterion: reduced comfortable wearing time (CWT), 20%; dryness, 20%; irritation, 5%; corneal staining, 8%; and hyperaemia, 7%. After refitting with DDs, the prevalence of reduced CWT was decreased from 65% to 51% (P = 0.0039), dryness from 60% to 41% (P < 0.0001) and corneal staining from 28% to 21% (P = 0.04). There was no significant change in the prevalence of irritation, or hyperaemia. Some differences were noted between the two lens materials.ConclusionsA high proportion of reusable soft lens wearers encounter clinically relevant signs or symptoms with their current CLs. This study provides evidence that refitting with DD lenses is a useful strategy for alleviating some of the common problems of CL wear. 相似文献

Purpose
To assess the compliance of Daily Disposable Contact Lenses (DDCLs) wearers with replacing lenses at a manufacturer-recommended replacement frequency. To evaluate the ability of two different Health Behavioural Theories (HBT), The Health Belief Model (HBM) and The Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), in predicting compliance.Method
A multi-centre survey was conducted using a questionnaire completed anonymously by contact lens wearers during the purchase of DDCLs.Results
Three hundred and fifty-four questionnaires were returned. The survey comprised 58.5% females and 41.5% males (mean age 34 ± 12 years). Twenty-three percent of respondents were non-compliant with manufacturer-recommended replacement frequency (re-using DDCLs at least once). The main reason for re-using DDCLs was “to save money” (35%). Predictions of compliance behaviour (past behaviour or future intentions) on the basis of the two HBT was investigated through logistic regression analysis: both TPB factors (subjective norms and perceived behavioural control) were significant (p < 0.01); HBM was less predictive with only the severity (past behaviour and future intentions) and perceived benefit (only for past behaviour) as significant factors (p < 0.05).Conclusions
Non-compliance with DDCLs replacement is widespread, affecting 1 out of 4 Italian wearers. Results from the TPB model show that the involvement of persons socially close to the wearers (subjective norms) and the improvement of the procedure of behavioural control of daily replacement (behavioural control) are of paramount importance in improving compliance. With reference to the HBM, it is important to warn DDCLs wearers of the severity of a contact-lens-related eye infection, and to underline the possibility of its prevention. 相似文献13.

PurposeTo evaluate and compare the distribution of refractive power within the optic zone of different soft contact lenses and to investigate the effect of lens decentration on the power profiles.MethodsThe Nimo TR1504 instrument was used to measure the optical power across different aperture diameters (from 1.5 mm to 5.5 mm in steps of 0.5 mm) of four daily disposable contact lenses: DAILIES TOTAL1, Proclear 1-Day, SofLens daily disposable and 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST. Measurements were performed using a wet cell. Power data were evaluated when contact lenses were in its centered position and after inducing different amounts of lens decentration (from 0.2 mm to 1.0 mm in steps of 0.2 mm).ResultsAll contact lenses showed an increase – more negative – in lens power with distance from the lens center. The amount of change varied depending on the lens. It was about 10% of lens power for DAILIES TOTAL1 (−0.29 diopters (D)), SofLens daily disposable (−0.36 D), and Proclear 1-Day (−0.32 D) whereas 1-DAY ACUVUE MOIST showed a percentage variation of 3.3% (−0.10 D). After inducing a lens decentration up to 1 mm, the power curves were shifted in the negative direction. However, the change obtained in lens power compared with well-centered position was always lower than a quarter of diopter both for all the lenses and aperture diameters.ConclusionsOur results showed a variation of the refractive power from the lens center, becoming more negative toward the periphery, with a negligible effect of the decentration for all disposable contact lenses studied. 相似文献

AimTo compare the in-vitro videokeratoscopic surface dewetting properties of new-generation silicone hydrogel (SiH) planned replacement contact lenses (CL) with those of daily disposable CLs.MethodA chrome coated cornea model was used for the in-vitro evaluation of surface dewetting. Pre-lens and post-lens film layers were formed by instilling a normal preservative-free normal saline solution (PFNs) (0.9 %) before and after the placement of the CL on the model cornea. The tests were carried out on fanfilcon A, lotrafilcon B, samfilcon A, and senofilcon A lenses, as well as such daily disposable lenses as delefilcon, nesofilcon A and senofilcon one day. Using videokeratoscopic methods, images were obtained at 30-second intervals up to 180 s in the lens and control groups and were analyzed by the ImajeJ® program.ResultsThe mean measured area of the keratoscopic rings was largest in the fanfilcon group (67.56 mm2), followed by 61.53 mm2 in the lotrafilcon A group and 64.60 mm2 in the samfilcon group, while the smallest area was measured in the senofilcon A group, at 56.90 mm2. The area was measured as 64.33, 63.09 and 68.39 mm2 for the delefilcon, nesofilcon and Senofilcon one day CLs, respectively. The dewetting patterns and properties differed in the CL groups (p < 0.05), while no significant differences were found between the measured areas of the planned replacement and daily disposable CL groups (p > 0.05).DiscussionVideokeratoscopy using in-vitro cornea models has been identified as a reproducible and reliable method for the analysis of the surface dewetting of CLs. The dewetting characteristics of CL groups have been found to differ from each other, despite all being produced from SiH materials. The surface wetting coating has been shown to affect CL dewetting performance. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION: The aim of the present studies was to investigate the effect on spherical aberration of different non custom-made contact lenses, both with and without aberration control. METHODS: A wavefront analyser (Zywave, Bausch & Lomb) was used to measure the aberrations in each subject's right eye uncorrected and with the different contact lenses. The first study evaluated residual spherical aberration with a standard lens (Focus Dailies Disposable, Ciba Vision) and with an aberration controlled contact lens (ACCL) (Definition AC, Optical Connection Inc.). The second study evaluated the residual spherical aberrations with a monthly disposable silicone hydrogel lens with aberration reduction (PureVision, Bausch & Lomb). RESULTS: Uncorrected spherical aberration was positive for all pupil sizes in both studies. In the first study, residual spherical aberration was close to zero with the standard lens for all pupil sizes whereas the ACCL over-corrected spherical aberration. The results of the second study showed that the monthly disposable lens also over-corrected the aberration making it negative. The changes in aberration were statistically significant (p<0.05) with all lenses. CONCLUSION: Since the amount of aberration varies individually we suggest that aberrations should be measured with lenses on the eye if the aim is to change spherical aberration in a certain direction. 相似文献

Purpose
To assess the accuracy of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements using rebound tonometry over disposable hydrogel (etafilcon A) and silicone hydrogel (senofilcon A) contact lenses (CLs) of different powers.Methods
The experimental group comprised 36 subjects (19 male, 17 female). IOP measurements were undertaken on the subject's right eyes in random order using a rebound tonometer (ICare). The CLs had powers of +2.00D, −2.00D and −6.00D. Six measurements were taken over each contact lens and also before and after the CLs had been worn.Results
A good correlation was found between IOP measurements with and without CLs (all r ≥ 0.80; p < 0.05). Bland Altman plots did not show any significant trend in the difference in IOP readings with and without CLs as a function of IOP value. A two-way ANOVA revealed a significant effect of material and power (p < 0.01) but no interaction. All the comparisons between the measurements without CLs and with hydrogel CLs were significant (p < 0.01). The comparisons with silicone hydrogel CLs were not significant.Conclusions
Rebound tonometry can be reliably performed over silicone hydrogel CLs. With hydrogel CLs, the measurements were lower than those without CLs. However, despite the fact that these differences were statistically significant, their clinical significance was minimal. 相似文献17.
Purpose
To report the symptoms and experiences associated with habitual hydrogel (Hyd) and silicone hydrogel (SiHy) contact lenses (CLs) among young adults and measure their association with age.Methods
Questionnaire responses from 699 Hyd and 183 SiHy wearers were analyzed to test the association of age with features indicating struggle with CL wear. Prevalence by age was compared between groups with Pearson's chi-square and within groups with Spearman's correlation coefficient.Results
Hyd and SiHy groups were similar for sex and age distribution. Diagnosis of dry eye increased with age in the Hyd wearers from 10.6% to 21.1% (18-24 vs. 30-35 years), but was approximately 19% in the SiHy wearers across age. Adverse environments caused more discomfort with Hyd than SiHy lenses and Hyd wearers’ discomfort increased with age (smoky (p = 0.0001), dry air environments (p = 0.002), after napping or sleeping (p = 0.004). More Hyd wearers considered discontinuation of CL wear with age, from 4.6% to 14.2% (18-24 vs. 30-35 years, p < 0.04), but the proportion remained steady at 9% across age for SiHy wearers (p = 0.46).Conclusions
From 18 to 35 years, hydrogel CL wearers reported increasing struggle with CL wear and more negative ratings compared to SiHy wearers. Older hydrogel CL wearers were also more likely to consider discontinuing CL wear compared with younger hydrogel or silicone hydrogel CL wearers in general. Young adult CL wearers should be routinely queried directly about specific aspects of CL wear in order to determine whether different lens types should be prescribed to avoid abandonment of CL wear. 相似文献18.

Purpose
To compare the effects of a hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)-based lens care solution and a polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) multi-purpose solution on the eyelids when used with silicone hydrogel (SiHy) contact lenses.Methods
A total of 74 symptomatic wearers of ACUVUE® OASYS® (senofilcon A; n?=?39) or PureVision® (balafilcon A; n?=?35) contact lenses were randomised 1:1 to either CLEAR CARE® Cleaning & Disinfecting Solution or renu® fresh? multi-purpose solution (n?=?37 each). Assessments of hyperaemia, papillae and lid margin staining of eyelid tissue were evaluated subjectively by a masked investigator at enrolment (with the subjects’ habitual SiHy contact lenses and PHMB-preserved care systems), at dispensing visit (when no lenses were worn) and at 3-months’ follow-up.Results
There were no differences in eyelid assessments between the two lens care groups at dispensing visit (p?=?0.086 to 0.947). After 3 months, the papillae response was significantly less marked with H2O2-based solution than with PHMB-based solution (p?=?0.017). Lid hyperaemia (p?<?0.001) and papillae (p?=?0.002) were also significantly reduced. Although lid hyperaemia was also reduced with PHMB-based solution (p?<?0.001), there was no concurrent decrease in papillae response (p?=?0.051). No improvements were found in eyelid margin staining either over time or between the two lens care groups.Conclusion
In symptomatic contact lens wearers, a H2O2-based lens care solution used with senofilcon A and balafilcon A lenses was better tolerated by eyelid tissues than was a PHMB-based solution and led to a decrease in clinical markers of eyelid inflammation. 相似文献19.
The performance and benefits as well as the risks and complications of disposable soft lenses (single use disposable or re-used 2-4 weeks) are reviewed in relation to corneal physiology. Modern designs and advanced technology have resulted in disposable lenses providing excellent visual performance. Fewer subjective symptoms (e.g. dryness and grittiness), slit-lamp findings (such as injection and tarsal abnormalities), and inflammatory responses (papillary conjunctivitis; contact lens-induced acute red eye) have been reported with disposable lenses than with conventional soft lenses. The risk of contact lens-induced keratitis (CLIK) has been reported to be higher for daily wear of disposable lenses than for other lens types by UK investigators. Other studies have shown the risk of CLIK with disposable lenses to be equal to that with conventional soft lenses, and in two extensive Swedish studies, the incidence of severe keratitis was found to be significantly lower for daily wear (DW) of disposable lenses than for DW of conventional soft and rigid gas permeable lenses. Both the total complication rate and the number of unscheduled visits are found to be significantly lower for disposable lenses than for conventional soft lenses in several studies. Comfort has been reported to be significantly better and overall satisfaction significantly greater with disposable lenses than with conventional soft lenses according to many studies. These may be important reasons why the success rate for disposable lens wear is reported to be fairly high, generally 70-90%. The importance of appropriate care for 're-usable disposable lenses' must be stressed. One day disposable lenses, if used as directed, will eliminate the risk factors of inadequate cleaning and disinfection as well as contaminated lens cases. 相似文献
