Multifocal Monthly Contact Lenses
Simultaneous Vision and Modality Rationale
Concentric or aspheric simultaneous vision profiles deliver distance, intermediate, and near. A monthly cycle lowers per day cost versus daily multifocals but requires diligent cleaning to prevent deposit related contrast loss that can degrade near and intermediate clarity.
Patient Selection and Advantages
- Early to moderate presbyopes: Higher success before large adds are needed
- Balanced visual tasks: Digital and near transitions benefit from aspheric intermediate zones
- Moisture retentive materials: Surface and bulk tech sustain comfort during reading
- Cost consideration: Lower daily expense than daily multifocals with full range vision
- Monovision upgrades: Better binocularity and depth perception than single vision strategies
