Purpose Of Review: Presbyopia is an inevitable age-related loss of accommodation that results in spectacle dependence with common everyday near-vision tasks. Many surgical approaches to presbyopic correction have been investigated, with monovision correction being amongst the most common and attractive options. In this article, we will review the advantages and disadvantages of the new modalities of presbyopic monovision correction.
Recent Findings: New methods such as mini-monovision, corneal inlays, and multifocal corneal ablation aim to maximize stereopsis and decrease the anisometropic side effects of conventional monovision. These include inlays such as the KAMRA and Raindrop, and phakic intraocular lenses such as the hole ICL. Newer corneal laser refractive procedures such as small incision lenticule extraction have also shown good outcomes with monovision. Pseudophakic monovision using standard monofocal lenses still provides good results.
Summary: Monovision for presbyopic correction continues to provide promising results. There are a number of new devices and techniques that have shown good visual acuity outcomes, patient satisfaction and spectacle independence.

Zanzibar Ministry of Health, Zanzibar, Mkoa wa Unguja Mjini Magh, United Republic of Tanzania.
Background: A pilot eyecare programme aimed to address the urgent eye health needs of older Zanzibari craftswomen. We investigated the impact of correcting presbyopia on their subjective well-being (SWB) 6 months post-correction and assessed the cost-effectiveness of a women-targeted presbyopia correction programme.
Methods: This study involved Zanzibari craftswomen aged 40 and older with presenting and corrected distance visual acuity better than 6/12 in both eyes and were presbyopic.
Impact on Distance and Near Contrast Sensitivity of Multifocal Contact Lenses: A Systematic Review.
Eye Contact Lens
November 2024
Department of Optics, Pharmacology and Anatomy (K.J.M.-G., D.F., D.P.P.), University of Alicante, Alicante, Spain; and Advanced Clinic Optometry Unit (D.P.P.), Department of Ophthalmology, Medimar International Hospital, Alicante, Spain.
Purpose: To investigate the impact on distance and near contrast sensitivity (CS) after fitting multifocal contact lenses (MFCLs) for presbyopia correction according to the scientific evidence already published.
Methods: Three bibliographic search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Sciences, and Scopus. Inclusion criteria were articles written in English evaluating distance and/or near CS in presbyopic patients using MFCLs, controlled clinical trials, and articles published from 2000 to 2024.

International trends in prescribing multifocal and monovision soft contact lenses to correct presbyopia (2000-2023): An update.
Cont Lens Anterior Eye
December 2024
School of Optometry, The University of Alabama at Birmingham, Birmingham, AL, USA.
Purpose: Numerous multifocal soft contact lenses have been introduced into clinical practice over the past half century. The purpose of this work is to update earlier surveys by describing international trends in multifocal and monovision soft lens fitting for presbyopia between 2000-2023, inclusive.
Method: An annual contact lens prescribing survey was sent to eye care practitioners in up to 71 countries between 2000-2023.
Randomised controlled trial of HOYA one-day multifocal contact lenses: The HOMCL trial.

HOYA Vision Care, Radarweg 29, 1043 NX, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Trial Design: Double-masked crossover RCT (Research Registry: #8136) comparison of a new HOYA one-day disposable multifocal contact lens (HOMCL) with Alcon DAILIES TOTAL1® Multifocal (ADT1).
Methods: Sixty presbyopic participants from three countries attended for baseline measurements and fitting of both lens types and then for a fortnight completed daily diaries of symptoms with habitual optical correction, and VF-14 questionnaire. Participants collected either HOMCL or ADT1, when the vision was measured again, and they wore this product for a fortnight, completing daily diaries and VF-14.
