NEW ORLEANS — Several CooperVision-sponsored studies presented at Academy ’23 support the ease of fit and improved vision with newer multifocal contact lens technologies, as well as the approachability of orthokeratology.
Gary Orsborn, OD, MS, FAAO, FBCLA, vice president of global professional and clinical affairs at CooperVision, told Healio the company’s research indicates that multifocal contact lenses are “easier to fit than ever before and lead to higher levels of first-fit success and ultimate success with their patients.”
Studies showed that newer designs resulted in better vision and that patient satisfaction “is highly predictive that they will be successful in the future,” he said.
Researchers also evaluated orthokeratology lens design with topography and found that use of the technology reduces the complexity of the fit and helps improve success.
