A study conducted by Adam Coffee, O.D., and associates, and sponsored by Vistakon sought to determine the fitting success of Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia, using “real world” endpoints of doctor and patient criteria at the one-week follow-up visit.

A total of 206 soft contact lens wearers were fit with Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia and followed for two weeks. Questionnaires were given to subjects at all visits and to practitioners at the start and end of the study. Clinical data regarding wearing times, lens fit, deposits and conjunctival and corneal staining were collected at baseline, one week and two weeks

According to the study, overall handling with the lens was rated as “excellent” or “very good” (Ex/VG) by 71% of subjects at one week and 80% of subjects at the two-week follow-up. Overall comfort with was rated as Ex/VG by 76% of subjects at one week and by 86% of subjects at two-weeks follow-up. Overall vision quality was rated as Ex/VG by 45% of subjects at one week and by 68% of subjects at two-week follow-up.

Overall lens centration and movement was rated as optimal in the vast majority of subjects.  There was a statistically significant reduction in the levels of both limbal and bulbar hyperemia (>grade 1 P<0.0001) after one week of wearing Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia vs. habitual lenses.
