Colour at every distance

The premium segment. The most loyal patient.

Colour at every distance

For the professional, coloured multifocal lenses represent the highest value-added offering in the entire Desìo catalogue: they require careful fitting and structured follow-up, but they generate the highest average basket and the most loyal patient. Those who find the right multifocal tend never to change it. Qualimed supports the professional with dedicated fitting training and consultation tools to make it easier to recommend them to presbyopic patients already wearing clear lenses.

Target patient

Presbyopic patients between 45 and 65, already wearing clear or single-vision contact lenses, who are beginning to struggle with near reading. Often resistant to progressive spectacles for aesthetic or practical reasons: the Desìo coloured multifocal is the ideal answer to both the corrective need and the wish to maintain a youthful, well-groomed image. High propensity to spend and to purchase on a planned basis.

Clinical note for the professional

Fitting and adaptation

Multifocals require a variable neuroadaptive adjustment period (typically 1–2 weeks). It is essential to manage patient expectations from the first appointment and to schedule check-ups at 1 and 4 weeks. Choosing the correct addition and pupil centring are critical to the success of the fitting. They are not recommended as a first product for those who have never worn contact lenses.

Advice for recommending in store

When to recommend Desìo multifocal lenses

The ideal moment is during a check-up with a presbyopic patient who already wears clear lenses and shows dissatisfaction with reading glasses. The aesthetic appeal of Desìo colour lowers resistance to changing product and makes the recommendation immediately attractive.

Benefits for the professional

Higher average basket

The highest-value product in the Desìo catalogue: an offering that rewards both patient and professional, with every purchase.

Highly loyal patient

Those who find their coloured multifocal do not change it. Very high retention, punctual reordering, a long-term relationship with the optical store.

A rarity in colour for presbyopes

Very few brands offer coloured multifocals: Desìo is a differentiating proposition that patients will struggle to find elsewhere.

For the patient

Do you see well at a distance but struggle up close? With Desìo multifocal lenses you can correct presbyopia and have the eye colour you have always dreamed of, all in a single lens. No reading glasses, no compromise on aesthetics. Just beautiful eyes, at any distance. The progressive profile guides your gaze from distance to intermediate and near with a gradual transition, without jumps in focus. In the first few days a short adaptation period is normal: your optician will guide you in choosing the addition and through the check-ups, until you find the right balance for your day.
