When prescribing the ACUVUE® BIFOCAL, why not go immediately to using unequal ADD powers for all patients?
Typically, over 40% of patients successfully wearing the ACUVUE® BIFOCAL are using equal ADD powers. Success is maximized by beginning with equal ADD powers. Based on patient response, the practitioner can then modify distance and/or ADD powers in order to optimize the patient’s performance. As distance vision adjustments can be demonstrated without changing the contact lens, clinicians are advised to evaluate distance vision adjustments prior to removing the lens to adjust ADD power.
