Huge Advances in Soft Multi-focal Contact Lenses
by: Steve Cogger
Many of our emerging presbyopes are already accustomed to the comfort of soft contact
lenses, switching them to GP multi-focal is far from an ideal solution.
Soft multi-focal contact lenses have been around for a long time, yet the available add
power was minimal and the success rate was not at a satisfactory level. Well, those days are
over.
Big name contact lens companies like Cooper Vision and Bausch and Lomb have come up with new
planned replacement multifocals. These big name manufacturers are only the tip of the
iceberg. Unilens, PolyVue, and Blanchard, to name a few, have each created their own
successful designs. Varying add powers on many of these lenses allow us to create a truly
personalized vision system for our presbyopic patients. There are even successful options
for patients with high astigmatism. Westcon and Unilens are just an example of labs that
manufacture custom soft toric multi-focals with a high success rate.
As we all know each patient presents a unique case. The most important aspect for any
contact lens specialist is to have all these lenses and knowledge of fitting characteristics at their disposal.
Designing a custom vision system for a presbyopic patient takes time and patience on both
the practitioner and patients part. As always, patient education and realistic expectations
are the most important ingredients for a successful multi-focal fitting.

Getting the best gas mileage is harder during the winter. Here are a few simple things you can do to improve your winter gas mileage.
Maintain your car. Check your tires to make sure they have plenty of tread. Slipping tires are dangerous and they waste gas. Ask your car dealer or mechanic if you can use a lighter weight oil during the winter to reduce friction and save gas. Consider using a low-friction or synthetic oil to save gas. If it's been awhile since you changed your air filter, check your owners manual to find the recommended changing interval. A new air filter can greatly improve your gas mileage. Consider an after-market low restriction air filter system. Not only can these improve your gas mileage, but they often come with permanent filter media that can be washed or cleaned and reused. The higher cost of the after-market filter can be offset by not having...
