ANIMALS STUDIED: Six research Beagles were used in this pilot study. PROCEDURE: Five two veterinary brands human evaluated six Beagles. Placement ease, the dogs’ tolerance, retention time for up to 14 days recorded. Statistical analysis with a linear mixed model was performed. RESULTS: Veterinary lenses had an average 0.4 days (range 0‐7 days, 10% 3% retained ≥1 ≥7 days, respectively), while significantly (P < 0.0001) longer 5.2 days 0‐14 days, 83% 37.5% respectively). Specifically, Johnson Vision Care Acuvue® Oasys™ Hydraclear™ Plus than all lenses, Bausch Lomb PureVision® 2 Keragenix HydroBlues™ 18 AnimaLens™ HRT 78 18 mm lenses.
