| Popis: | Purpose: A longitudinal prospective, cross-over, double masked study was designed to evaluate task oriented visual satisfaction and wearing success with two types of simultaneous vision multifocal soft contact lenses. Methods: Twenty-two presbyopic subjects followed two 14-day trial periods in which they were alternatively and randomly fitted with two types of multifocal lenses. Habitual tasks were described in terms of observation distance, visual demand level and time allocation. Subjects graded visual satisfaction with each pair of lenses and each habitual task at different times during each trial. Overall satisfaction was evaluated after completion of the two trial periods. Wearing success was determined by the percentage of subjects opting to continue multifocal lens wear and by the number of subjects still wearing their lenses six months later. Results: Viewing distance and visual demand level were found to infl uence visual satisfaction (p < 0.001). Visual satisfaction decreased for tasks involving higher visual demands and for near and far viewing distances, rather than for intermediate vision or a combination of near and far vision. A combined effect of lens type and evaluation time was discovered (p = 0.046). Although 78 % of subjects decided to continue lens wear, only one subject was wearing them on a daily basis 6 months after the completion of the study. Insuffi cient quality of vision was reported as the main reason for multifocal contact lens discontinuation. Conclusions: A task oriented visual satisfaction evaluation may prove helpful in lens design selection, as well as in predicting wearing success. |
