    Multifocal contact lens options for presbyopia are expanding, offering more visual freedom from spectacles.

  • 2

    Aspheric multifocal lenses utilize diffractive optics for flexible vision, while EDOF lenses provide a continuous focal point.

  • 3

    Aspheric lenses may cause glare and halos, especially at higher add powers, due to light scatter from discrete focal points.

  • 4

    EDOF optics enhance depth of focus and improve intermediate vision without degrading distance vision, but may reduce retinal image quality.

  • 5

    Understanding lens designs and individual visual needs helps eye care providers recommend the best multifocal options for patients.
