Objective:

To demonstrate the benefits of multifocal scleral lenses for patients dissatisfied with gas permeable (GP) lenses.

Key Findings:
  • The patient experienced significant improvement in comfort and stability with scleral lenses.
  • Initial adaptation to multifocal lenses was challenging, particularly for near vision.
  • Adjustments to the near optical zone improved near visual acuity without affecting distance vision.
Interpretation:

Multifocal scleral lenses can effectively address the evolving visual needs of long-term GP lens wearers, enhancing comfort and functional vision.

Limitations:
  • Adaptation to multifocal lenses may vary among patients.
  • Potential for initial discomfort or difficulty with near vision.
Conclusion:

The integration of multifocal scleral lenses offers a viable solution for GP lens users seeking improved comfort and vision, with successful outcomes noted in this case.
