The Fitting Process
The DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal Fitting Process is designed to be streamlined and effective, ensuring a predictable and successful lens fitting experience for presbyopic patients.
3.1. Initial Trial Lens Selection
The initial trial lens selection begins with adding 0.25D to the patient’s prescription for near vision, ensuring a balanced approach to distance and near vision needs. Start with distance refraction, gradually incorporating plus power in 0.25D increments to maximize wearer acceptance. This method aligns with the Precision Profile Design, optimizing vision at all distances. Proper lens selection is critical for first-fit success, ensuring comfort and clarity for presbyopic patients. By following this structured approach, eye care professionals can efficiently determine the most suitable lenses, enhancing patient satisfaction and adaptability to multifocal contact lenses.
3.2. Refraction and Prescription Matching
Accurate refraction and prescription matching are essential for optimizing vision with DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal lenses. Begin by adding 0.25D to the near prescription to ensure clarity at all distances. This approach aligns with the lens’s Precision Profile Design, which adapts to the patient’s specific refractive needs. During refraction, prioritize distance vision first, then gradually incorporate near corrections in 0.25D increments to achieve a balanced fit. Proper alignment of the prescription with the lens’s optical zones ensures seamless vision transitions. By carefully matching the prescription to the lens design, eye care professionals can maximize visual acuity and patient satisfaction, addressing the unique challenges of presbyopia effectively.
Patient Selection and Consultation
Patient selection focuses on identifying presbyopes who benefit most from DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal lenses, ensuring their lifestyle and vision needs align with the lens’s capabilities.
4.1. Evaluating Presbyopia and Patient Needs
Evaluating presbyopia involves assessing the patient’s visual demands and lifestyle to determine if DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal lenses are suitable. Key considerations include the degree of presbyopia, daily activities requiring near, intermediate, and far vision, and the patient’s adaptability to multifocal lenses. A thorough consultation helps set realistic expectations and ensures the lenses meet their specific needs. Patients with active lifestyles or those who prefer not to rely on reading glasses are ideal candidates. The guide emphasizes matching lens parameters to individual requirements for optimal comfort and vision clarity, ensuring a personalized approach to multifocal correction.
4.2. Setting Realistic Expectations
Setting realistic expectations is crucial for patient satisfaction with DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal lenses. While the fitting guide ensures a high success rate, it’s important to communicate that adaptation may vary. Patients should understand that multifocal lenses may require a short adjustment period and that some visual compromises, such as halos or glare in low light, are possible. Emphasize the benefits of freedom from reading glasses and the comfort of water gradient technology. Highlight that nearly 7 out of 10 presbyopes achieve satisfactory vision without glasses. Managing expectations ensures patients are prepared for the fitting process and potential outcomes, fostering trust and satisfaction with their multifocal lens experience.
Handling and Care Instructions
Proper handling ensures longevity and comfort. Clean lenses with approved solutions, avoid sharing, and replace daily as directed. Daily disposables minimize maintenance for optimal hygiene and convenience.
5.1. Proper Handling Techniques
Proper handling of DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal lenses is essential for maintaining their quality and ensuring a comfortable wear experience. Always wash your hands thoroughly before touching the lenses to prevent the transfer of dirt or bacteria. Use the provided contact lens case to store lenses when not in use, and ensure it is cleaned regularly with a contact lens solution. Avoid sharing lenses or using expired solutions, as this can lead to contamination and discomfort. When inserting or removing the lenses, handle them by the edges to minimize the risk of tearing. Proper handling techniques not only extend the life of the lenses but also contribute to overall eye health and clarity of vision. By following these simple care steps, you can enjoy the full benefits of DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal contact lenses.
5.2. Daily Care and Maintenance
Proper daily care and maintenance of DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal lenses are crucial for ensuring comfort, clarity, and long-term eye health. Always clean and rinse your lenses with a compatible contact lens solution, avoiding tap water or saliva, which can introduce bacteria. Gently rub the lenses with your fingers to remove any deposits, then rinse thoroughly. Store lenses in a clean, dry case filled with fresh solution, and replace the case every 3 months to prevent contamination. Avoid sharing solutions or reusing them, as this can compromise lens hygiene. By following these care routines, you can maintain the optimal performance of your DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal lenses and enjoy consistent, comfortable vision throughout the day.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Address adaptation issues by ensuring proper fit and gradual transition. Resolve optical challenges by verifying prescription accuracy and lens alignment, optimizing visual performance for presbyopia correction.
6.1. Addressing Adaptation Issues
Adaptation to DAILIES TOTAL1 Multifocal lenses is typically smooth, but some patients may experience initial challenges. Common issues include blurry vision at intermediate distances or eye strain. To address these, ensure the lenses are properly fitted and aligned. Gradually transitioning from single-vision to multifocal lenses can help patients adapt more easily. If symptoms persist, reassess the prescription and lens placement. Utilize the Precision Profile Design to optimize near, intermediate, and far vision. For patients struggling with adaptation, consider adjusting the add power or exploring monovision as an alternative. Regular follow-ups are crucial to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments. Proper handling and care, as outlined in the guide, also play a key role in minimizing discomfort and ensuring a successful adaptation process.
