Abstract

The number of presbyopia is increasing worldwide with highly reported on an inadequate correction, which can reduce the visual satisfaction. A survey was conducted to study the level of vision satisfaction between the quality of vision and symptoms reported by progressive addition lens (PALs). Sixty questionnaires were mailed to the (PALs) wearers aged between 40 years and above from Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) Vision Care. The strongest correlation was found between the quality of vision at intermediate viewing with total satisfaction on seeing grocery shelves and computer screen with p<0.001. PALs wearers priority and needs should be considered in selecting the appropriate lens design to be matched for required tasks.
