Real-World in-Home Use Test Evaluation of a Unique Multi-Purpose Solution for Planned Replacement Soft Contact Lens Users.

Purpose: Contact lens (CL) wear may induce changes to the tear film, leading to sensations of ocular dryness and CL discomfort, key reasons for CL discontinuation. CL care solutions can help address underlying mechanisms of CL discomfort, improving wear experience. We report outcomes of an in-home use test of Biotrue Patients and Methods: In this IRB-approved, real-world survey study, adult soft CL users used BHP MPS for 7 days before completing a survey rating their experience (agreement/disagreement for attributes including CL cleanliness, comfort [including during extended screen use], prevention of CL dryness, perception of CL hydration, gentleness on eyes, and likelihood to recommend to others). A power analysis estimated sample size for 80% statistical power. Responses were analyzed with 2-sided exact binomial tests for agreement in >50% of responses (significance level α=0.05). Results: Participants (N=435) were demographically balanced (mean age 42.5 years; 52.9% female). Over 60% of participants reported baseline CL dryness and tired eyes; 8.0% were likely to discontinue CL wear. At the end of the trial period, 98.9% were satisfied with how their CLs felt. Individual responses were significantly >50% for all attributes (p<0.05), including 91.7% agreeing that BHP MPS positively impacted CL comfort (and helped to keep CLs feeling clean [96.8%], keep CLs comfortable so that eyes do not feel tired [93.1%], maintain CL comfort [94.7%], prevent CL dryness [93.6%], maintain comfort with extended screen use [92.0%], and maintain hydration [94.7%] while being gentle on eyes [96.6%]); 94.0% would recommend BHP MPS to other CL wearers. No adverse events were reported. Conclusion: BHP MPS demonstrated strong performance across all key criteria evaluated in this real-world cohort of soft CL wearers for improved CL wear experience.
