Which contact lens best mimics the Eye's natural surface?
NCT ID NCT04840563
First seen Aug 05, 2026 · Last updated Aug 06, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study investigates how three different daily disposable contact lenses—kalifilcon A, Dailies Total1, and Precision1—affect the lens surface when worn. Ten habitual contact lens wearers will wear each lens type for short periods, and researchers will measure the surface refractive index after removal. The goal is to understand how each lens absorbs or adsorbs tear components, which could influence comfort and eye health.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- kalifilcon A contact lens (Infuse)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could help identify which contact lens material interacts most favorably with the eye's natural tears, potentially leading to more comfortable and healthier lens options.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 10 participants, so results may not apply to all lens wearers. The measurements are technical and may not directly translate to noticeable comfort differences.
