The fitting characteristics of 1-day Acuvue disposable soft contact lenses (SCLs) [base curve (BC) 9.0 mm, diameter 14.2 mm] and 14-day Acuvue disposable SCLa (BC 8.8 mm, diameter 14.0 mm) were evaluated and compared with respect to lens centration and post-blink movement in primary gaze and in upgaze. In this double-blind study 25 successful daily wearers of either the 1-day lens or the 14-day lens with the same parameters were randomly fit with three 1-day lenses and three 14-day lenses for a total of 6 lenses per eye. The lene fit was evaluated 5 min after insertion. Lens centration was assessed by measuring temporal, nasal, superior and inferior limbal coverage, and then comparing the net horizontal centration (temporal minus nasal coverage) and the net vertical centration (superior minus inferior coverage) of the 1-day and 14-day lenses. There was no significant difference between the two lenses in terms of temporal, superior, and inferior limbal coverage (p > 0.05). However, the 1-day lens showed statistically more nasal coverage (p < 0.05). No statistically significant difference in movement or in horizontal and vertical differences in centration were found (p > 0.05). Although our findings indicate a subtle statistical difference in fitting characteristics, clinically the two lenses should provide similar fits.
