Abstract
Eleven subjects were each fitted with five different soft contact lens corrections for presbyopia. The correction types were distance contact lenses with lookover spectacles, concentric bifocals, monovision, modified monovision and progressive bifocal contact lenses. Subjects were asked to rate each contact lens correction in terms of distance, intermediate, near and peripheral vision, confidence when walking and climbing stairs, eye-hand co-ordination, performance on work tasks, vision difficulties in bright and dim ambient illumination and the correction most preferred for daily wear. There were few significant differences between ratings for the different corrections. Monovision, modified monovision and the concentric bifocal corrections were the preferred options for daily wear
