United Nations (UN) data suggests that for the century
from 1950 to 2050, life expectancy worldwide is projected to increase from 44
to 77 year as a result of which there will be an increase of 200 percent of new presbyopes every 40 years..
Thus a huge potential market which will remain untapped if we do not concentrate on our multifocal contact lens practice..
Presbyopes once satisfied with contact lenses can be a huge source of referrals for your practice owing to the following reasons:
1.Positive comments about the change (from spectacles to CLs when the patients is new to CLs) noticed by family and friends.
2.The absence of bifocal spectacles and their ‘tell-tale’ near segments makes determination of the wearer’s age-group less certain
3.Improved posture. No head tilt to position spectacle near segments advantageously
4. Elimination of spectacle pressure points (bearing areas) from nose pads/bridges and temples (sides)
5. Some patients may exude greater confidence as they can have a wider field of vision and active lifestyle due to contact lens wear.
Contact lenses might not always necessarily be a replacement for spectacles but can often be prescribes as an add on based on the visual demand and life style of the patient ,which will further enhance the bucket size and A.S.P of your practice.
Bifocal contact lenses are not used in modern times and have been replaced by multifocals which uses one of the below mentioned designs based on the make and the Brand.:
Concentric (image 1)
Aspheric (image 2)
