NCT ID NCT07617090
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares three types of progressive lenses to see which provides the widest clear vision at distances from 4 meters down to 25 centimeters. About 26 presbyopic participants will test each lens in a random, double-blind order. The goal is to help eye doctors choose the best lens for people who need sharp vision at both arm's length and close up.
