Participant milestones
Measure
Kalifilcon A Daily Disposable Multifocal First, Then Samfilcon A for Presbyopia
Participants wore kalifilcon A Daily Disposable Multifocal (Test) lenses bilaterally on a daily-disposable (single-use, discarded after each removal) basis, at least 8 hours/day for approximately 1 week (First Intervention), then crossed over to Ultra for Presbyopia (samfilcon A, Comparator) lenses bilaterally on the same daily-disposable basis for approximately 1 week (Second Intervention). There was no washout period.
Samfilcon A for Presbyopia First, Then Kalifilcon A Daily Disposable Multifocal
Participants wore Ultra for Presbyopia (samfilcon A, Comparator) lenses bilaterally on a daily-disposable (single-use, discarded after each removal) basis, at least 8 hours/day for approximately 1 week (First Intervention), then crossed over to kalifilcon A Daily Disposable Multifocal (Test) lenses bilaterally on the same daily-disposable basis for approximately 1 week (Second Intervention). There was no washout period.
