This is a prospective, single group, daily wear (DW) study where 90 participants will wear NIGHT & DAY [Registered trade mark] lenses bilaterally on a daily wear (DW) basis in conjunction with OPT-FREE [Trade mark] RepleniSH [Trade mark] solution for 4 months. There will be a minimum of 5 scheduled visits: baseline, 1 month visit, 2 month visit, 3 month visit and 4 month visit.
