Purpose

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the use of a multifocal contact lens in people who previously wore contact lenses but discontinued due to age-related, near vision demands.

Condition	Intervention
Presbyopia	Device: lotrafilcon B multifocal contact lens Device: lotrafilcon B single vision contact lens Other: Over-reader spectacles


Study Type:	Interventional

Primary Outcome Measures:

Overall Satisfaction With the Lenses [ Time Frame: 1 week of wear ]
Overall satisfaction with the lenses was interpreted by and assessed by the subject as a single, retrospective measurement of one week's wear time. Overall satisfaction with the lenses was recorded on a questionnaire as a numerical rating on a scale of 1 to 100, with 1 being completely dissatisfied, and 100 being excellent, completely satisfied.
