Key Features of MyDay Multifocal Lenses

MyDay Multifocal lenses combine advanced technology for exceptional comfort and vision clarity․ They feature Aquaform Technology, which enhances hydration and maintains moisture throughout the day, reducing dryness and irritation․ The lenses also incorporate a water gradient design, ensuring a natural, comfortable wearing experience․ Additionally, built-in UV protection safeguards ocular health by filtering out 86% of UVA and 97% of UVB rays․ These lenses are designed for daily disposable use, offering convenience and hygiene․ Their multifocal design addresses presbyopia, providing clear vision at all distances, while the smooth power transition ensures minimal visual disturbances․

Initial Lens Selection

Initial lens selection involves assessing spherical equivalent distance power, sensory eye dominance, and selecting the appropriate lens power for each eye using the MyDay Multifacial Fitting Guide․

Step 1: Determine Spherical Equivalent Distance Power

The first step in the initial lens selection process is to determine the spherical equivalent distance power using the patient’s up-to-date spectacle prescription․ This calculation is crucial for ensuring accurate lens fitting and optimal vision correction․ Correct the prescription for vertex distance to account for the difference between the glasses and the contact lenses․ This step sets the foundation for the entire fitting process, ensuring the lenses are tailored to the patient’s specific needs․ Use the OptiExpert app or manual calculations to achieve precise results, which will guide the selection of the appropriate MyDay Multifocal lenses for the patient․

Step 2: Assess Sensory Eye Dominance Using 1․00D Blur Test

Assessing sensory eye dominance is critical for ensuring proper multifocal lens fitting․ Use the 1․00D blur test to determine which eye is dominant․ Have the patient look at a distant object, then introduce a +1․00D lens in front of one eye․ The dominant eye will tolerate the blur better․ If the test is inconclusive, increase to 1․50D or more․ This step ensures the add power is allocated correctly, optimizing binocular vision and patient comfort․ CooperVision recommends this method for accurate results, aligning with the MyDay Multifocal lens design for clear vision at all distances․

Step 3: Select Distance Sphere Power for Each Eye

After determining the spherical equivalent and assessing eye dominance, select the distance sphere power for each eye using the patient’s up-to-date spectacle prescription․ Adjust the power for vertex distance to ensure accuracy․ The OptiExpert app can assist in calculating the correct prescription for MyDay multifocal lenses․ Ensure the add power is allocated based on the dominant eye to optimize binocular vision․ This step is crucial for balancing near, intermediate, and far vision, ensuring the lenses meet the patient’s lifestyle needs and provide clear, comfortable vision at all distances․ Accurate selection enhances patient satisfaction and fitting success․

Vision Assessment and Optimization

Evaluate binocular visual acuity to ensure balanced vision․ Check monocular acuity for each eye and perform over-refraction with trial lenses to optimize clarity and comfort․ Assess vision in real-world conditions for the best outcomes․

Evaluate Binocular Visual Acuity

Evaluating binocular visual acuity is crucial to ensure balanced vision and optimal functioning of MyDay multifocal lenses․ Begin by assessing the patient’s ability to see clearly at various distances, focusing on both near and intermediate vision․ Use handheld trial lenses or a flipper to refine the prescription, avoiding the use of a phoropter for more accurate results․ Ensure the patient keeps both eyes open during the assessment to mimic real-world viewing conditions․ This step helps identify any discrepancies between the lenses and the patient’s visual needs, ensuring the final prescription provides sharp, clear vision for daily activities․

Additionally, evaluate the patient’s ability to transition smoothly between different focal points, such as switching from reading to distance vision․ This ensures the multifocal design meets the patient’s lifestyle demands․ By prioritizing binocular visual acuity, you can address any potential issues early, leading to higher patient satisfaction and successful lens adaptation․

Check Monocular Visual Acuity

After evaluating binocular visual acuity, assess monocular visual acuity for each eye individually to identify any discrepancies in vision correction needs․ Use trial lenses or a flipper to refine the prescription for each eye, ensuring clarity at all focal points․ Avoid using a phoropter for this step, as it may not provide accurate results for multifocal lenses․ This process helps determine if one eye requires additional correction or if adjustments to the add power are necessary․ Proper monocular assessment ensures the lenses are tailored to each eye’s specific needs, optimizing overall vision and comfort․

Document the findings and use them to refine the prescription further․ If vision remains unclear in one eye, consider over-refracting to ensure the lens meets the patient’s visual demands․ This step is critical for achieving optimal results and ensuring patient satisfaction with MyDay multifocal lenses․ By addressing each eye’s unique requirements, you can provide a more precise fit and improve the patient’s ability to adapt to the lenses successfully․

Perform Over Refraction with Hand-Held Trial Lenses

Over refraction with hand-held trial lenses is a critical step to refine the prescription and ensure optimal vision clarity․ This process allows for precise adjustments to the spherical, cylindrical, and axis values, as well as the near add power, to meet the patient’s specific visual needs․ By evaluating vision with both eyes open and in natural lighting conditions, you can assess how well the lenses perform in real-world scenarios․ If binocular vision is unacceptable, perform a monocular over refraction to identify which eye requires further adjustment․ This step ensures the final prescription is tailored for maximum comfort and visual acuity․

Clinical Tips for Successful Fitting

Consider the patient’s lifestyle and vision needs when selecting lenses․ Prescribe maximum plus power for binocular vision clarity․ Avoid changing add power during fitting to ensure adaptation ease․

Consider Patient’s Lifestyle Vision Needs

When fitting MyDay multifocal lenses, consider the patient’s lifestyle and primary vision needs․ Assess whether they prioritize near, intermediate, or distance vision based on daily activities like reading, computer use, or driving․

Use this information to determine the appropriate add power, ensuring the lenses align with their visual demands․ For example, higher add powers may be suitable for heavy near-task users, while lower adds might be better for those needing clear intermediate vision․

Leverage the OptiExpert app to tailor lens selection to their specific needs, optimizing comfort and visual clarity for real-world use, and enhancing overall patient satisfaction with their multifocal lenses․
