Presbyopia is becoming a global problem worldwide, leading to reduced quality of life due to lack of correction or hypocorrection in 94% of people over 45. Multifocal soft contact lenses (MFCLs) are one of the fastest growing methods of contact correction for presbyopia. According to a report by our international colleagues, MFCLs represent 14% of all types of MCLs worldwide in 2021, an increase of 2% from 2020.
In this article we will look at the OKVision® Fusion NEW Multifocal fitting algorithm to help professionals simplify and speed up the fitting process and help patients get the vision quality they want at the right distances.
