Abstract

Purpose: To determine the performance of TOTAL30 for Astigmatism (T30fA; Alcon; Fort Worth, TX, USA) contact lenses (CLs) in existing CL wearers who are also frequent digital device users.

Methods: This 1-month, 3-visit study recruited adult, 18- to 40-year-old subjects who were required to use daily digital devices for at least 8 hours per day. All subjects were refit into T30fA CLs. A text message visual analog scale (VAS) (±50 scale; positive being comfortable) evaluate at-home eye comfort across the day at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month. Subjects were evaluated at 1 month with the Computer Vision Syndrome Questionnaire (CVS-Q), Impact of Dry Eye on Everyday Life (IDEEL) Quality of Life questionnaire, and a custom questionnaire.

Results: A total 48 subjects were analyzed (mean age = 28.8 ± 6.3 years; 75% female). At 1 month, IDEEL daily activities, feelings, and work domains scores were 96.7 ± 6.6, 96.4 ± 6.2, and 94.8 ± 8.6, respectively. CVS-Q scores were 3.48 ± 3.73. Most of the subjects indicated that they were satisfied with the overall performance of the study CLs (81.3%) and with their level of eye strain with the study CLs (87.3%). When evaluating CL comfort with the VAS, comfort did not differ across the month at each time point (all p-value ≥ 0.16), yet CL comfort did decrease minimally across the wear day (all p-value < 0.001).

Conclusion: These data suggest that the monthly study CLs can provide an excellent wearing experience for those with frequent digital device use.

期刊介绍： Clinical Optometry is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal focusing on clinical optometry. All aspects of patient care are addressed within the journal as well as the practice of optometry including economic and business analyses. Basic and clinical research papers are published that cover all aspects of optics, refraction and its application to the theory and practice of optometry. Specific topics covered in the journal include: Theoretical and applied optics, Delivery of patient care in optometry practice, Refraction and correction of errors, Screening and preventative aspects of eye disease, Extended clinical roles for optometrists including shared care and provision of medications, Teaching and training optometrists, International aspects of optometry, Business practice, Patient adherence, quality of life, satisfaction, Health economic evaluations.
