Bifocal and Multifocal Contact Lenses for Presbyopia and Myopia Control

Table 5

Results from the defocus curves obtained with different contact lenses in different studies. The approximate values have been extracted from the graphs presented by the authors for 0.0 D of vergence (distance), 1.0 D (1 meter), 1.5 D (67 cm), 2.5 D (40 cm), and 3.0 D (33 cm). Units are presented in LogMAR values. Above the shaded row are presented baseline data for no lens situation. Note that Plainis et al.’s [90] study has been performed on young people under cycloplegia.
