Plain English Summary

Background and study aims
Contact lenses are small prescription lenses, worn in "contact" with the eye. They are designed to correct eyesight and maintain eye health.
The aim of this study is to determine the acceptance and the vision performance of Miru multifocal contact lenses compared with 1-Day Acuvue® Moist contact lenses.

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 type is used first is randomly determined like tossing a coin). The second visit takes place 1 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 type, which they wear for 1 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.

Where is the study run from?
Ocular Technology Group - International Research Clinic (UK)

Scientific titleMiru multifocal contact lens performance and acceptance assessment
Study hypothesisThe overall visual satisfaction and binocular visual performance with Miru multifocal will not be inferior to that of 1 DAY ACUVUE Moist multifocal.
Ethics approval(s)Approved 17/12/2019, North West - Preston Research Ethics Committee (Barlow House 3rd Floor, 4 Minshull Street, Manchester, M1 3DZ, UK; +44 (0)207 104 8056; preston.rec@hra.nhs.uk), ref: 19/NW/00713
ConditionPresbyopia vision correction using multifocal contact lenses
InterventionEach 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 (chosen at random). The randomisation process is 1:1 randomisation using a computerised program.
The second visit takes place 1 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 type, which they wear for 1 week.
At the third and final visit, the contact lenses that have been worn are assessed and the participant is discharged from the study.
