5 Key Takeaways
-
1
Multifocal contact lens options for presbyopia are expanding, offering more visual freedom from spectacles.
-
2
Aspheric multifocal lenses utilize diffractive optics for flexible vision, while EDOF lenses provide a continuous focal point.
-
3
Aspheric lenses may cause glare and halos, especially at higher add powers, due to light scatter from discrete focal points.
-
4
EDOF optics enhance depth of focus and improve intermediate vision without degrading distance vision, but may reduce retinal image quality.
-
5
Understanding lens designs and individual visual needs helps eye care providers recommend the best multifocal options for patients.
