In this paper, We compared middle-aged wearer's satisfaction of progressive multifocal lens and free-form progressive multifocal lens wearers, and investigate the direction of improvement of progressive multifocal lens. We tried to predict the development direction of progressive lenses in the future. The results of the survey, satisfaction of free-form progressive multifocal lens wearers was high, compared to normal progressive lenses. The price of free-form progressive multifocal lens is expensive compared to the nomal progressive multifocal lens, but provides a wide view than nomal progressive lenses. It was confirmed that there is sufficient merit. because it can be made in individual customized to the wearer. In the near future, It is expected that free-form progressive multifocal lenses is the most popular progressive multifocal lenses to middle-aged wearers.

The purposes of this study is examining a wearing tendency of a progressive multifocal lens. We measured refractive error values using subjective and objective refraction method with subjects in 40-65 ages. Also, we investigated and analyzed distribution of addition power and wearing tendency of progressive multifocal lens. Detected addition powers were ranged of +0.75D - +3.00D. In case of average addition, they were detected with +1.18D in 40's, +1.55D - +1.97D in 50's and +2.38D in above 61's age. The distributions of visual ability at a distant were measured that the hyperopia and hyperopic astigmatism 43%, the myopia and myopic astigmatism characteristic astigmatism 7% appeared highly with 36%. The male who uses the interior aspect multi focal lens with the short-range work were appeared the male 20%, the woman 19%.

To study the ametropia and the sort of glasses, especially progressive multifocal lens, for near purpose on Middle aged & Manhood. 500 adults were tested by the object and subject methods. Among the 500 adults, myopia is 22.4%, hyperopia is 61.4%, and emmetropia is 16.2%, respectively. In test of astigmatism, the amount of astigmatism for the age of forty one to under forty five with-the rule is 28%, the amount of astigmatism against-the rule is 43% and the amount of astigmatism with oblique is 11%, respectively. Whereas, the amount of astigmatism for the age of fifty six to under sixty with-the rule is 10%, the amount of astigmatism against-the rule is 71% and the amount of astigmatism with oblique is 19%, respectively. With-the-rule decreased with increasing age while against-the-rule increased with increasing age. The oblique astigmatism relationship to age could not be determined. The ratio of the progressive multifocal lens was 67.3% for male and 35% for female.
