title: Presbyopic correction with contact lenses.
abstract: According to Paragon Vision Sciences (Mesa, AZ), an additional 50,000 Americans become presbyopic each day. There are many contact lens options available to help these patients meet their visual needs in the workplace and for recreational and social activities. Although technology still requires some compromise on the part of many patients, constant advances in materials and designs should enable even greater numbers of presbyopes to enjoy the freedom of functioning without glasses in the years to come.
