†Based on in vitro studies where Total1 was compared with Precision1, Infuse*, Acuvue Oasys Max 1-Day*, Acuvue Oasys 1-Day*, BioTrue One Day*, 1-Day Acuvue Moist*, clariti 1-Day*, MyDay* (39, 30, 18, 16, 16, 12, 7, 6, 5 seconds respectively) and Total30 was compared to Air Optix Plus HydraGlyde, Bausch+Lomb Ultra*, Acuvue Vita*, Acuvue Oasys*, Biofinity* (27, 19, 15, 14, 9, 6 seconds respectively) wherein wettability was measured in seconds using the iDDrop System (p<0.05 for daily disposable lens; p<0.001 for reusable lens). All lenses were tested in an identical manner, soaked in a phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution for 16 hours +/- 2 hours.
