This single-center, randomized, double-blind, crossover clinical trial aims to compare the volumetric visual fields provided by two occupational progressive addition lenses (OPLs) optimized for intermediate and near vision in presbyopic patients. The study evaluates Vimax Zoom 1.5 FWD 4 m and Vimax PC 1.5 FWD 4 m lenses and Vimax Fit FRM, all of them with plano distance power and a +2.00 D near addition, in order to determine differences in the extent of clear vision at multiple working distances.
Participants will undergo a comprehensive optometric examination including medical and ocular history, visual acuity assessment, accommodative amplitude measurement, autorefraction, interpupillary distance measurement, ocular motility evaluation, confrontation visual fields, Amsler grid testing, and binocular vision assessment. Visual field measurements will then be performed using both study lenses under standardized conditions. Subjects will be instructed to maintain a fixed head position while identifying optotypes located at distances of 4 m, 2 m, 1.33 m, 80 cm, 40 cm, and 25 cm. Both lenses will be tested in random order under masked conditions so that neither participants nor investigators know which lens design is being evaluated during each phase.
At least 23 presbyopic participants are expected to be enrolled. The study procedures are non-invasive and are anticipated to be completed in a single one-hour visit, although additional sessions may be scheduled if necessary. No significant risks are expected beyond possible transient visual fatigue associated with the duration of testing.
The primary objective is to determine which occupational progressive lens design provides a greater spatial volume of clear vision and wider horizontal and vertical visual fields at different intermediate and near distances. The findings may contribute to improving personalized recommendations of occupational lenses according to patients' visual demands and working distances.
