Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the comfort of the new delefilcon A daily disposable water gradient contact lenses. Material and methods: 153 volunteers were included in the study. After the application of new daily disposable contact lenses, patients were asked to fill the questionnaire in which they assessed the comfort in the scale from 1 (unsatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied). On the next day, they were asked to assess the comfort at the end of the day (1 to 5 points). Existing lens wearers rated also their previous contact lenses. Results: The average score of delefilcon A contact lenses was established at the level of 4.58 points, while the average score of the habitual lenses was 4.11 points. At the end of the day, comfort assessment of delefilcon A contact lenses was also higher – 4.49 vs. 3.83 points. Conclusion: Delefilcon A daily disposable water gradient contact lenses offers stable high comfort level through the whole day of use.
