Lined multifocal wearers prefer progressive addition lenses

    Summary

    Progressive addition lenses (PALs) are preferred over lined multifocals by 92% of patients switching from lined multifocals. This study suggests PALs should be the primary choice for wearers previously using lined multifocal lenses.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Vision Science

    Background:

    • Lined multifocal lenses are often the preferred choice for patients accustomed to them, despite the success of progressive addition lenses (PALs).
    • Understanding patient transition from lined multifocals to PALs is crucial for optimizing vision correction options.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the feasibility and patient preference when switching lined multifocal wearers to progressive addition lenses (PALs).
    • To compare patient satisfaction and preference between lined multifocals and a specific type of PAL (Varilux Comfort).

    Main Methods:

    • A prospective clinical trial involving 265 participants who were previous lined multifocal wearers.
    • Participants were prescribed new progressive addition lenses (Varilux Comfort) and subsequently interviewed to compare lens types.

  • Patient preferences and experiences were systematically recorded and analyzed.

    • Main Results:

    • Progressive addition lenses (PALs) received significantly higher ratings than lined multifocals across all assessed parameters.
    • A substantial majority of patients, 92%, expressed a preference for PALs over their previous lined multifocal lenses.
    • The Varilux Comfort PAL demonstrated high patient acceptance and satisfaction.

    Conclusions:

    • Progressive addition lenses (PALs) should be considered the lens of choice for individuals transitioning from lined multifocal correction.
    • The study supports the successful adoption of PALs by previous lined multifocal wearers, indicating a potential shift in preferred vision correction technology.
