When fitting an athlete with contact lenses, many factors have to be taken into consideration. Athletes have a different set of circumstances regarding their performance. One has to look at the playing environment that they are in,
"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."

It is well established that good tear exchange under a contact lens can help prevent microbial keratitis, CLARE, and lens-induced corneal edema.1-5 It makes sense from a physiologic perspective. If you have stasis under a lens, byproducts from normal corneal metabolism accumulate in the post-lens tear reservoir.
In this webinar, Dr. Jeffrey Sonsino talks about the new UltraHealth Hybrid Contact Lens, and how he uses it as an alternative to GP's and sclerals.
In Oklahoma, Denise Roddy, OD, of Tulsa, is known for her expertise in fitting specialty contact lenses. “Most patients referred to me have failed elsewhere,” Dr. Roddy says of the patients she receives from other corneal specialists including other ODs as well as MDs. Some patients, like one particular retired nurse educator whom Dr. Roddy saw recently, travel more than 100 miles for her care.
“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.”
