Abstract

Purpose The health benefits of silicone hydrogel lens materials and a daily replacement modality have been demonstrated in previous studies; however, existing planned replacement lens wearers may resist changing to a new lens replacement schedule. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the wear experience of satisfied planned replacement silicone hydrogel wearers when refit into a silicone hydrogel daily disposable lens. Patients and Methods In this open-label, non-comparison study, satisfied wearers of two week planned replacement contact lenses were evaluated for inclusion criteria and refit with optimized prescriptions in their habitual lenses. At a follow-up visit one week later, participants were refit with the study daily disposable lenses and completed visual analog scale (VAS) surveys of initial quality of vision, comfort, and satisfaction. Participants returned for a final visit after two weeks of wearing the study daily disposable lenses. At the final visit, VAS surveys for both overall and end of day (EOD) vision, comfort, and dryness were completed. Overall median and interquartile range (IQR) were assessed for all surveys in the study. Results Thirty individuals completed the study (29.1 ± 7.8 years old; 19 female). Median (IQR) results for the initial impression VAS surveys were 92.50(11.75) for quality of vision, 92.50(18.00) for comfort, and 93.00(18.00) for satisfaction. Final VAS survey results revealed median scores of 87.50(25.00) for EOD quality of vision and 82.50(51.25) for EOD comfort. The median overall quality of vision was 91.00(17.00) and overall comfort was 93.00(28.50). Median (IQR) overall dryness was 28.50(49.00) and median EOD dryness was 30.50(64.25). Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that providers can successfully refit satisfied wearers of early generation silicone hydrogel planned replacement lenses into a new generation silicone hydrogel daily disposable lens while maintaining satisfaction.

水面日用一次性隐形眼镜在现有硅胶水凝胶中的佩戴体验

目的硅胶水凝胶镜片材料和日常更换方式对健康的益处已在先前的研究中得到证实；然而，现有的计划更换镜片的佩戴者可能会抵制改变为新的镜片更换时间表。本研究的目的是评估满意的计划更换硅胶水凝胶佩戴者在改装到硅胶水凝胶日常一次性镜片中时的佩戴体验。患者和方法在这项开放标签、非比较研究中，对计划更换两周的隐形眼镜的佩戴者进行了纳入标准评估，并对其习惯性镜片进行了优化处方。在一周后的随访中，参与者重新佩戴了研究的日常一次性镜片，并完成了视觉模拟量表（VAS）对初始视觉质量、舒适度和满意度的调查。参与者在佩戴了两周的研究日常一次性镜片后返回进行最后一次访问。在最后一次就诊时，完成了对整体和一天结束时（EOD）视力、舒适度和干燥度的VAS调查。对研究中所有调查的总体中位数和四分位间距（IQR）进行了评估。结果完成研究的30人（29.1±7.8岁；19名女性）。初始印象VAS调查的中位（IQR）结果为视觉质量92.50（11.75），舒适度92.50（18.00），满意度93.00（18.00。最终VAS调查结果显示，EOD视觉质量的中位得分为87.50（25.00），EOD舒适度的中位分数为82.50（51.25）。中位整体视觉质量为91.00（17.00），整体舒适度为93.00（28.50）。中位整体干燥度为28.50（49.00），中位EOD干燥度为30.50（64.25）一次性镜片，同时保持满意度。
