A simplified fitting philosophy

Our new fitting process is based on eye care professionals’ real-world experiences.

• Fitting lower ADD powers are now simpler than ever, by using the same D lens design for both eyes
• Fitting higher ADD powers continues to be flexible, giving you more options for exceptional vision performance
  

Initial visit
Step 1 Start with new refraction and verification of eye dominance (fogging technique).
Step 2 Select the distance prescription based on spherical equivalent corrected for the vertex distance. Choose D or N lens design based on needed ADD power:

Visual acuity expectations when using the D and N lens combination

Step 3 Although the lens will equilibrate quickly, allow patients to adapt to lenses for a minimum of 15 minutes before assessing vision. If binocular vision is unacceptable, perform a monocular over-refraction, using hand-held trial lenses, to determine which eye needs improvement.
To improve distance vision add +/-0.25D (up to +/-0.50D) to the eye that needs improvement.
To improve near vision add +/-0.25D (up to +/-0.50D) to the eye that needs improvement.
Clinical Tips Prescribe maximum plus power for distance vision (Do not over minus)
Choose the lower ADD power when possible; not necessary to overprescribe the ADD power
Test patient’s near function vision with their cell phone
Check visual acuity with room lights on

A unique multifocal lens for unique eyes

Balanced Progressive” Technology

• Optimized for exceptional vision at all distances: near, intermediate, and far
• Allows for personalized fitting for each wearer and each eye
• The streamlined fitting process helps ensure success for presbyopic patients

Follow-up visits one week later
If the patient requires further enhancement to distance or near visual acuity.
Step 1 Evaluate binocular visual acuity.
Step 2 Check monocular visual acuity.
Step 3 Perform over-refraction using hand-held trial lenses (avoid using a phoropter).
FIRST OPTION: To improve either distance or near vision, modify distance vision by +/- 0.25D in the eye that needs improvement.
SECOND OPTION: To improve near vision add +0.50D to the ADD power of the eye that needs improvement.
