A Better Way to Evaluate CK Candidates

Review of Ophthalmolog/16/07y, 02


David Geffen, OD., et al. ? A standard recommendation for patients interested in surgical correction of presbyopia is a trial of monovision. Typically, this has involved placing a spherical contact lens on the nondominant eye as a means of demonstrating the trade-off in distance vision...In our practice, we have found a better way by using the multifocal contact lens in the non-dominant eye and slightly over-plussing the patient. It provides them with a vision that is much closer to the results we see with NearVision CK. As important, the results obtained with the multifocal lens very closely match post-CK vision, right down to the higher-order aberrations...
