Abstract Purpose: To investigate the acceptance and performance of one day Silicone Hydrogel Multifocal Contact Lenses in distance, intermediate and near zone in presbyopic patients. Materials and Methodology: This Prospective, clinical and questionnaire based study were conducted in an eye/optical clinic during 17th December 2016 to 20th April 2017. The patients (n=30), who had fulfilling the inclusion criteria, had been thoroughly examined in first, second and third visit. Subjective questionnaire were distributed to the patients for fill up in front of examiner. Questionnaire was divided into 3 sets: Fitting visit (total 6 questions), Take Home Questionnaire (THQ) (total 4 questions) and assessment visit (total 6 questions). The entire questionnaire was asked according to distance, intermediate and near zone basic. Results: In this study, the mean age of the patients were 49.60±7.828 years and male and female percentage were 20 (67%) and 10 (33%). There were a significant difference found for “overall vision satisfaction with contact lens” at distance (P=0.003) and near (P=0.035), between fitting and assessment visit. But no significant association was found at intermediate (0.054) for both visits. In fitting visit, twenty two (73.3%) patients were willing to purchase the multifocal contact lenses and eight (26.7%) patients were not agree to buy contact lenses. This decreased to only fifty (50.0%) of patients willing to buy the lenses and fifty (50.0%) of patients were not willing to buy contact lenses at the assessment visit. There was significant difference found in overall day and night time wearing about “contact lens comfort “ at distance (P = 0.034) and but no significant difference found at intermediate and near (P > 0.05) in take home questionnaire (THQ). Conclusion: If the clinical measurement taken perfectly the rate of the performance level would be higher. The usefulness in subjective ratings on willingness to buy multifocal contact lens show that unlikely to be satisfied after using the lens at outside and home environment.
