Which of the following is not a recommended method for providing the presbyope with contact lenses?

Among the challenges when fitting aging patients with contact lenses include:

_____________________may result in faster adaptation to contact lenses with aging patients.

Patients more likely to succeed with bifocal contact lenses are:

Aging increases the likelihood of dry eye symptoms because:

In this contact lens design the near vision correction is in a small circle in the center of the lens surrounded by a much larger section containing the distance power.
