  6. Can achieve best corrected distance monocular visual acuity of at least +0.20 logMAR and binocular visual acuity of at least +0.10 logMAR with refraction.
  7. Have a refractive cylinder of ≤1.00 D in each eye.
  8. Has corrected best sphere equivalent distance refraction in the range -0.50 D of -6.00 D in each eye (vertex corrected if greater than -4.00D).
  9. Have a reading ADD power in the range of +0.75 D to +1.75 D (inclusive) in each eye.
  10. Have a wearable pair of spectacles (at the discretion of the investigator) to wear when they cannot wear the study lenses.

      Exclusion Criteria:
* Potential Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from participating in the study:

  3. Is currently pregnant or lactating, by self-report, or planning a pregnancy at the time of enrollment.
  4. Has any known active ocular disease and/or allergies, ocular infections or other abnormalities that are known to interfere with contact lens wear (at the discretion of the investigator). This may include, but not be limited to entropion, ectropion, extrusions, chalazia, recurrent styes, glaucoma, history of recurrent corneal erosions, or corneal distortion.
  5. Is using any topical ocular medications other than lubricating eye drops.
  6. Known to have any infectious disease (e.g., hepatitis, tuberculosis) or a contagious immunosuppressive disease.
  7. Have any systemic disease, autoimmune disease, or use of medication, which may interfere with contact lens wear (at the discretion of the investigator). This may include, but not be limited to, hyperthyroidism, recurrent herpes simplex/zoster, Sjogren's syndromes, xerophthalmia, acne rosacea, Stevens-Johnson syndromes.
  8. Had a diagnosis of a condition known to affect ocular prescription or ocular surface or tear film e.g., rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes.
  9. Had a change within the previous 3 months to the dosage of a systemic medication known to affect ocular prescription or ocular surface or tear film (e.g., steroids) that in the opinion of the investigator may affect a study outcome variable.
  10. Has undergone cataract or refractive error surgery (e.g., radial keratotomy, PRK, LASIK, etc.), or has any planned (during the study) major surgery (e.g. hip replacement), or any planned ocular surgery (e.g. cataract or refractive error surgery).
  11. Is a current rigid contact lens wearer, or is wearing contact lenses on extended wear basis, or has a history of extended wear in the past 6 months.
  12. Has worn soft MF CLs in the past 2 years or is a habitual wearer of monovision CLs.
  13. Has a constant unilateral strabismus at both far and near distances, or has anisometropia \>2 D between both eyes, or has amblyopia.
  14. Has a known sensitivity to the diagnostic pharmaceuticals to be used in the study (Refresh Plus® rewetting drop solution, Sodium Fluorescein or Alcon Clear Care Cleaning System).
  15. Has any Grade 3.0 or greater slit lamp findings (e.g., edema, corneal neovascularization, corneal staining, tarsal abnormalities, conjunctival injection) on the biomicroscopy classification scale, any previous history or signs of a contact lens-related corneal inflammatory event (e.g., past peripheral ulcer or round peripheral scar), or any other ocular abnormality that may contraindicate contact lens wear (at the discretion of the investigator).
