Primary Outcome Measures:

Lens Orientation [ Time Frame: 1 minute after insertion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Proportion of eyes with lens orientation within 5 degrees of optimal
Lens Stability [ Time Frame: 10-15 minutes after insertion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Lens stability is measured as the amount of rotation induced from blink after the lens has settled.
Subjective Comfort [ Time Frame: 2 weeks of lens wear ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Subjective comfort was derived from a weighted combined score calculated from individual comfort-related questions asked on a 1-5 scale: 1 = most negative response to 5 = most positive response. >0 = comfortable, < 0 = uncomfortable. Combined measures from Week 1 and Week 5.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

Time to Fit Lens [ Time Frame: after lens insertion ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
Time required for the optometrist to fit the lens.
Subjective Lens Vision [ Time Frame: measured at 1 and 2 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
A weighted combined score calculated from individual vision-related questions asked on a 1-5 scale: 1 = most negative response to 5 = most positive response was used to derive vision outcomes. >0 = satisfactory vision, < 0 = unsatisfactory vision. Analysis is performed on combined 1 week and 2 week data.
Overall Corneal Staining [ Time Frame: After 2 weeks use ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
National Eye Institute 0-3 Scale: Grade 0 = Normal, Grade 1 = Mild, superficial stippling, Grade 2 = Moderate, punctuate staining including superficial abrasion of the cornea, Grade 3 = Severe, abrasion or corneal erosion, deep corneal abrasion or recurrent erosion.

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:	Yes

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

Be between 18 and 45 years of age.
Sign Written Informed Consent (See separate document).
Be an existing successful daily wear toric soft contact lens.
Require a visual correction in both eyes (monovision or uniocular fitting is NOT allowed).
Does not require presbyopic correction (can read J1 @ normal reading distance).
Have a sphere requirement in the range -1.00 and -5.00D (-5.25D refractive)
Have refractive astigmatism between 0.75D and 2.50D in both eyes.
Achieve visual acuity of 20/30 or better in each eye with spherical distance correction.
Have normal eyes with no evidence of abnormality or disease. For the purposes of this study a normal eye is defined as one having:
- No amblyopia.
- No evidence of lid abnormality or infection.
- No conjunctival abnormality or infection.
- No clinically significant slit lamp findings (i.e. stromal edema, vascularisation, infiltrates or abnormal opacities).
- No other active ocular disease.

Exclusion Criteria:

Requires concurrent ocular medication.
Clinically significant (Grade 3 or 4) corneal stromal haze, corneal vascularisation, tarsal abnormalities, bulbar hyperemia, limbal hyperemia, or any other abnormality of the cornea that would contraindicate contact lens wear.
Corneal staining Grade 3 in more than one region.
Has had refractive surgery. Has had eye injury/surgery within 8 weeks immediately prior to enrolment for this study.
Abnormal lacrimal secretions.
Pre-existing ocular irritation that would preclude contact lens fitting.
Keratoconus or other corneal irregularity.
Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) or Rigid Gas Permeable (RGP) lens wear in the previous 8 weeks
Extended lens wear in last 3 months.
Any systemic illness which would contraindicate lens wear or the medical treatment of which would affect vision or successful lens wear.
Diabetic.
Infectious disease (e.g., hepatitis, tuberculosis) or an immunosuppressive disease (e.g., HIV).
Pregnancy, lactating or planning a pregnancy at the time of enrolment.
Participation in any concurrent clinical trial or in last 60 days.
