What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial aims to assess the comfort of Total30 Multifocal Toric contact lenses for individuals with presbyopia, a condition affecting near vision, who have previously worn reusable toric lenses. It will evaluate whether users are willing to continue wearing these lenses after one month. Individuals who have worn reusable toric lenses in the past year without major discomfort and are willing to wear the trial lenses daily may be suitable candidates. The study will evaluate comfort and clear vision after lens use. As an unphased trial, it offers participants the chance to contribute to understanding the comfort and effectiveness of these lenses for presbyopia.

What prior data suggests that these contact lenses are safe for presbyopic adults?

In clinical studies, patients using TOTAL30 Multifocal Toric contact lenses have reported achieving 20/20 vision. These lenses incorporate Water Gradient technology, which maintains cleanliness and comfort throughout the month. This feature is crucial, as discomfort often leads people to discontinue wearing contact lenses, particularly those with presbyopia, a condition that impairs near vision.

The lenses aim to deliver clear vision and lasting comfort, essential for long-term use. Although specific side effects for TOTAL30 lenses are not detailed, their emphasis on comfort and clarity suggests they are generally well-received by users. Additionally, since these lenses are available for individuals with astigmatism and presbyopia, they are likely safe for use.12345

Why are researchers excited about this trial?

Researchers are excited about Total30 Multifocal Toric contact lenses because they offer a new approach for presbyopic individuals who also need astigmatism correction. Unlike traditional multifocal or toric lenses that may not cater specifically to this combination of needs, these lenses are designed to be reusable and made from silicone hydrogel, which enhances comfort and oxygen permeability. This could mean clearer vision with fewer compromises, providing a more tailored solution for people dealing with both presbyopia and astigmatism.

What evidence suggests that Total30 Multi focal toric contact lenses are effective for presbyopia?

Studies have shown that TOTAL30 Multifocal Toric contact lenses provide clear 20/20 vision for those needing help with different distances. Designed for individuals with astigmatism (when the eye isn't perfectly round) and presbyopia (difficulty seeing things up close with age), these lenses use Water Gradient Technology to ensure comfort throughout the day. In clinical assessments, users rated their comfort nearly 8 out of 10, even after a month of use. This suggests the lenses effectively provide clear vision and maintain comfort over time.12367

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?

This trial is for adults aged 40 or older who have presbyopia and astigmatism, currently wear reusable toric contact lenses without major discomfort, and can see well with correction. Participants must be willing to wear the study lenses daily for at least a month. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals cannot join.
