CASE STUDY | UltraHealth FC
Male Patient DF, Age 66
OD: Dr. Kristi Rhodes, Schwartz Laser Eye Center, AZ
HISTORY
DF has a history of RK OU, PRK OU, and mmc treatment 2x OD. Patient had monocular vertical diplopia with farsightedness and moderate to high astigmatism OD. The patient was a Doctor and could not see detail for suturing.
"My patient is thrilled with the improved comfort of UltraHealth. He achieves 20/25, reports no foreign body issues and is able to wear the lens 14 hours per day without days off for “irritation”. His new comfort rating is a 5!"
Time Glasses Needed Went From 40 to 0%!
"The patient’s astigmatism was a major factor in the poor acuity she experienced in her soft lenses and I knew Duette Progressive could drastically improve her vision at all distances. My experience fitting Duette lenses combined with my experience fitting soft multifocals with a similar optic design made the fit easy and intuitive.”
In this case study, Dr. Josh Gordon, OD, fit a 54-year-old female with Duette Progressive® lenses -- a change from the soft multifocal lenses she had been wearing for the past 2 years. He describes the ease of the fitting process, as well as the patient's improved vision results.

“I chose the Duette Progressive lens for this patient because I wanted him to have a great first experience with multifocal contact lenses. After the initial two-week adaptation period, he was very comfortable inserting and removing his lenses, found the lenses comfortable, and enjoyed not having to constantly remove his glasses for near and intermediate tasks."
“Not only was the comfort of Duette Progressive as good as her soft lenses, but the vision was better than any lens we’d tried in the past.”
Comfort of contact lenses ranks among patients as being almost as important as the quality of the patient's vision while wearing the lens. In this case study, we examined a 59-year-old female who had been wearing soft multi-focal contact lenses for the last 6 years. Click the link below to be taken to the Case Study Results.
“The Duette Progressive lenses are the first lenses that allowed this patient to have satisfactory near vision without utilizing readers. The fitting experience was also easier with this lens than with soft multifocals.”
