Additions Multifocal

Thousands of people wear gas permeable lenses in our Ledaperm spherical and Profile Aspheric design and there is an urgent need for these patients to move into a lens to correct their presbyopic prescription. Until recently a form of modified mono vision or a back surface multifocal lens has been routinely used, however both these modalities may involve unwanted fitting compromises and some back surface multifocal's may induce corneal changes.

There is now a new technology allowing us to create a translating, centre distance lens with the reading addition on the front surface, thereby making and changeover much simpler to manage. This new technology is called SAM®.

What is SAM® Technology?

SAM® Technology (spherical aberration management) is an award winning system, involving the computerized plotting of thousands of lathing points. SAM® software enables computer controlled lathes to produce extremely accurate aplanatic optics resulting in greatly enhanced clarity of vision across the whole of the lens surface. Additions lenses use SAM® technology to create a front multifocal surface, which means the existing Ledaperm or Profile Aspheric lens wearer can be refitted with new multifocal lenses using the same back surface fitting characteristics of their existing lenses. We are calling these new lenses LEDAPERM ADDITIONS and PROFILE ADDITIONS.
