While many of the modern soft contact lens designs employ center near optics, both visual performance and lens preference can still vary from person to person. Contact lens decentration, pupil size variability, or the natural aberrations of the eye you are working with can have real impacts on vision performance.Are high add power contact lenses more difficult to fit? In general, the higher the add power, the more difficult it is for patients to adapt to contact lenses. Naturally, the same is true for fitting progressive spectacle lenses. Before prescribing a patient’s first soft multifocal lenses, it’s important to have a discussion about the fitting process. Be sure to explain that:What should i do if im disappointed with my contact lenses? Patients with specific multifocal complaints such as distance blur, glare or inadequate near vision may be disappointed in the performance of the lenses. While having appropriate expectations is important, avoid trying to immediately lower the patient’s expectations after a disappointing initial experience.
