Abstract

PURPOSE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Futura-due F-2 Multifocal contact lens.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted an 18-month prospective study to evaluate the clinical performance as well as to determine the subjective factors that influence the decision to purchase a multifocal soft contact lens for correction of presbyopia. 88 patients were initially fitted with the F-2 Multifocal contact lenses.
RESULTS: All 88 patients achieved 0.9 or better visual acuity both for near and distance vision. There was no significant difference after one and six months in contrast visual acuity, retinal sensitivity and subjective symptoms using contact lenses or spectacles.
CONCLUSION: This study showed safety and efficacy of the Futura-due F-2 Multifocal contact lens in providing a high level of distance and near vision with reduced spectacle dependency, despite some increased reports of halos and glare.
