Brief Summary: The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Bausch + Lomb samfilcon A soft (hydrophilic) contact lens, a new silicone hydrogel contact lens, compared to the Bausch + Lomb PureVision® soft contact lens when worn for 7-day extended wear by adapted soft contact lens wearers.
Detailed Description: Approximately 816 participants (1,632 eyes) will be enrolled in this 12-month randomized, parallel, Investigator/Sponsor masked study at approximately 35 investigative sites in the US. At the Screening/Dispensing Visit, approximately one-half of the participants will be randomized to receive Bausch + Lomb investigational samfilcon A soft contact lenses (Test) and approximately one-half of the subjects will be randomized to receive Bausch + Lomb PureVision soft contact lenses (Control). Both groups will wear the assigned lenses bilaterally on a 7-day extended wear basis throughout the 12 month study. The lenses are to be worn overnight for up to six consecutive nights per week. The lenses are to be removed, cleaned and disinfected on the seventh night and re-inserted the following morning. The lenses will be replaced with new lenses at the beginning of each month. Lenses will be provided at the Screening/Dispensing, 3-Month, 6-Month and 9-Month Follow-Up visits to maintain a monthly replacement schedule. Participants will also be required to complete a paper diary.
