Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Comfort-related Symptoms/Complaints [ Time Frame: At dispensing visit and each follow-up visit at week 2 and week 4. ]
    Participants rated their subjective symptoms/complaints using a 0 to 100 scale for each eye. A 0 represented the least favorable rating, and a 100 represented the most favorable rating. Over All Follow-Up Visits summarizes the average over all follow-up visit summaries.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Slit Lamp Findings [ Time Frame: Over all visits for 1 month ]
    Graded slit lamp findings for each eye greater than grade 2 included epithelial edema, epithelial microcysts, corneal staining, limbal injection, bulbar injection, superior tarsal conjunctival abnormalities, corneal neovascularization, and corneal infiltrates. Slit lamp findings are grade on a scale of 0-4 with 0=none and 4=severe. Over All Follow-up Visits summarizes the worst case over all follow-up visits.
