Through‐focus performance with multifocal contact lenses: effect of binocularity, pupil diameter and inherent ocular aberrations

To evaluate the effects of the wearer's pupil size and spherical aberration on visual performance with centre‐near, aspheric multifocal contact lenses (MFCLs). The advantage of binocular over monocular vision was also investigated.
