Bifocal and Multifocal Contact Lenses for Presbyopia and Myopia Control

Table 1

Summary of results of recent studies evaluating the photopic binocular high and/or low contrast visual acuity at distance (4 to 6 m) and near (33 to 40 cm) in presbyopic patients fitted with simultaneous image contact lenses. Visual acuity is expressed in LogMAR units.
