5 Key Takeaways

• 1

  Multifocal contact lenses are underutilized, with only 12% of practitioners prescribing them, and rigid GP lenses comprise just 1% of all multifocal lenses in the US.

• 2

  Rigid multifocal lenses may provide superior visual outcomes for patients with irregular corneas or astigmatism compared to soft multifocal lenses.

• 3

  Pupil size affects visual performance and dysphotopsia, making it crucial to select MF lenses with appropriate design for presbyopic patients.

• 4

  The BLINK study suggests that the effectiveness of MF lenses in myopia management may relate more to lens type than peripheral defocus.

• 5

  Practitioners can enhance patient care by customizing contact lens fittings based on individual corneal characteristics and visual needs.
