The use of progressive addition multifocals with video display terminals.

Consideration must be given to a number of factors when designing spectacles for the presbyopic VDT worker. Video terminals are routinely positioned high within the working field, usually at an intermediate distance. It is often difficult for a practitioner to design a single pair of multifocals to satisfy the visual needs of these workers. In this investigation, different fitting designs of progressive addition multifocals were subjectively compared for 24 presbyopic VDT operators. The results were correlated with measurements taken at the workstations for each of the participants.

Clinical evaluation of two soft lens bifocals.

This paper reviews two approved soft bifocal contact lenses for the U.S. market. The discussion centers around lens specifications, fitting philosophies, and clinical experiences with these lenses during clinical investigations.

[Study of spatial function using the contrast sensitivity function. Cases of presbyopic subjects fitted with progressive glasses].

The spatial properties of the global visual system were measured on the basis of the contrast sensitivity function, in three presbyopic observers. Shape alterations of the contrast sensitivity curves were found depending on the experimental conditions: foveal vision, in far, intermediary and near vision, along central, 13 degrees nasal and 13 degrees temporal meridians (according to three parallels and three meridians), peripheral vision, in far and near vision, at 13 degrees and 26 degrees retinal eccentricities using the central or nasal part of the lens. The central meridian was found to be the most efficient part of the progressive lenses. These results strengthen the observations reported by ophthalmologists and progressive lens wearers.

Wearing contact lenses in space shuttle operations.

More and more mission specialists are being trained to operate in the Space Shuttle and to eventually maintain a permanent station in space. Since up to 48% of the general population wears a visual correction of some sort, it is logical to assume that this percentage will also be found in the astronaut population. This paper proposes that the soft contact lens can be worn successfully in the space environment. The contact lens of choice is the continuous-wear soft contact lens which is proving to be quite successful for the general public. These lenses must be fitted at least 6 months before space flight in order to make sure they can be worn successfully.

Bifocal hydrogel lenses: an overview.

Until the advent of bifocal hydrogel lenses, monovision or reading glasses were the modes of correction for hydrogel contact lens wearing presbyopes. Recent design innovations and improvements in the manufacturing technology of soft contact lenses have made possible new developments in bifocal hydrogel lenses. Patient selection and patient education play key roles in optimizing patient success. There are several hydrogel bifocal designs that are possible for the presbyope. The variations of these designs and their pertinent considerations are discussed.
