After 1 month, SA was measured with the vectographic Titmus, Random dot stereotests, and the Howard\u2010Dolman apparatus under photopic conditions (85 lux) at 40 cm. Binocular high\u2010contrast visual acuity at distance and near was examined.

These values were 25 \u00b1 9 sec arc, 74 \u00b1 26 sec arc, and 82 \u00b1 26 sec arc with the PureVision Multifocal, respectively. SA was better with the Focus Progressives compared with the PureVision using the Howard\u2010Dolman (4 sec arc of difference; p = 0.001), Titmus (2 sec arc of difference; p = 0.001), and Random dot (31 sec arc of difference; p &lt; 0.001) tests. Binocular mean high\u2010contrast distance visual acuity was similar for the Focus Progressives and PureVision Multifocal: \u22120.01 \u00b1 0.07 and +0.02 \u00b1 0.08 logMAR, respectively (p = 0.074). At near vision, these values were +0.01 \u00b1 0.07 and +0.06 \u00b1 0.06 logMAR, respectively, being statistically significant different (p = 0.004).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Both the Focus Progressive and PureVision Multifocal contact lenses provided good visual acuity preserving stereopsis. Focus Progressives had slightly better near acuity and better SA than the Purevision Multifocal contact lenses. Differences found between the lens types may be related to asphericity, near addition of the contact lens, or even visual acuity differences between the two eyes that were not measured in this study but could conceivably have contributed to SA measure differences. SA measurement with a Howard\u2010Dolman apparatus reveals better SA than vectographic tests.<\/jats:p>\n
