Abstract

Multifocal soft contact lenses are the fastest growth segment in contact lenses. While presbyopic patients demonstrate an increasing interest in contact lenses, not all practitioners actively integrate multifocal lenses into their practices. Some of the reasons include the perception that multifocal fitting is time-consuming and chances of successful adaptation of “ageing” patients are low. The purpose of this publication is to provide an overview of the latest multifocal contact lens, essential fitting steps and instruments for quick and effective multifocal lens fitting.
