A short-term clinical study was undertaken to compare and evaluate the fit and clinical behaviour of eight disposable hydrogel contact lenses. Thirty subjects were enrolled in a 1-day, randomised, double-masked study. The lenses compared were Vistakon Acuvue (8.80), Vistakon Surevue (8.80), Aspect Frequency-55, Bausch & Lomb Medalist (SeeQuence 2), Ciba Focus (8.90), Lunelle Rythmic, Pilkington Barnes Hind Precision-Wand Wesley Jessen Freshlook. Three of the eight designs, Acuvue (86.7%), Precision-UV (86.7%) and Frequency-55 (90%), achieved relatively high levels of fitting success. The Rythmic lenses achieved the lowest success rate (70%) showing significantly greater downward decentration than the other designs. Although all the lenses were designed to fit a wide variety of eyes, they exhibited widely varying fitting characteristics. Some were more successful than others. The study shows that it is necessary for practitioners to utilise a range of lens designs in order to fit satisfactorily the typical contact lens population.
