This online tool assists eye care professionals in determining the appropriate parameters for contact lenses designed to address presbyopia. It typically requires inputting data from the patient’s current eyeglasses prescription, including sphere, cylinder, axis, and add power, as well as potentially other relevant information. The output usually provides recommendations for the initial fitting of these specific lenses, streamlining the process and aiming to improve the first-fit success rate. For example, entering a patient’s current eyeglass prescription allows the tool to calculate the corresponding contact lens power.
Accurate fitting of multifocal contact lenses is crucial for optimal vision correction at all distances. This digital resource aids practitioners in making informed decisions, potentially reducing chair time and enhancing patient satisfaction. Historically, fitting these lenses could be a complex and time-consuming process, often involving trial and error. This tool represents a significant advancement, leveraging technology to enhance precision and efficiency in the fitting process, leading to better visual outcomes for patients experiencing age-related vision changes.
