Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Participants will be required to attend one visit. For the EyeMapper instrument, the participant’s head will be positioned on a chin rest and look at an internal fixation target. No contact will be made with the eye at any time. Following alignment, measurement is taken. Five consecutive measurements will be performed per instrument. Overall duration of measurements will be 10 minutes

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Able to read and comprehend English and give informed consent as demonstrated by signing a record of informed consent.
Be at least 18 years old, male or female.
Willing to comply with the clinical trial visit schedule as directed by the Investigator.
Have ocular health findings considered to be “normal”.
Spherical equivalent refractive error between +1.50D and -4.00D (with astigmatism less than 4.00D)
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
Any pre-existing ocular irritation, injury or condition (including infection or disease) of the cornea, conjunctiva or eyelids that would preclude contact lens fitting and safe wearing of contact lenses.
Any systemic disease that adversely affects ocular health e.g. diabetes, Graves disease, and auto immune diseases such as ankylosing spondylitis, multiple sclerosis, Sjogrens syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus. Conditions such as systemic hypertension and arthritis do not automatically exclude prospective participants.
Use of or a need for concurrent category S3 and above ocular medication at enrolment and/or during the clinical trial.
Use of or a need for any systemic medication or topical medications which may alter normal ocular findings / are known to affect a participant’s ocular health / physiology or contact lens performance either in an adverse or beneficial manner at enrolment and/or during the clinical trial.
NB: Systemic antihistamines are allowed on an “as needed basis”, provided they are not used prophylactically during the trial and at least 24 hours before the clinical trial product is used.
Eye surgery within 12 weeks immediately prior to enrolment for this trial.
Previous corneal refractive surgery.
Rigid gas permeable or orthokeratology lens wear in the past month.
Known allergy or intolerance to ingredients in any of the clinical trial products.
Currently enrolled in another clinical trial.
Participation in a clinical trial within the previous 24 hours for dispensing studies and in-house studies.

Study design
Purpose of the study
Diagnosis
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
The planned number of participants is minimum of 48; of which, 24 participants will be recruited with spherical equivalent refractive errors ranging between +1.50D and -0.25D, and another 24 participants will be recruited with spherical equivalent refractive errors ranging between -0.50D and -4.00D.

Allocation concealment will be by means of central randomisation by computer.

Enrolment will take place over approximately 1 month.
Participants will be screened for general clinical trial suitability by way of a routine eye examination which includes refraction, visual acuity and general eye health. Informed consent will be obtained prior to any clinical trial procedures. Both experienced contact lens wearers and neophytes (participants with no prior lens wear experience) will be enrolled into the study.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Participants will be randomised for the order of examination with the two new instruments.

The randomisation plan will be generated from http://www.randomisation.com
