Sumario:The development of new corrections and designs for presbyopia has increased the number of options available for patients that would potentially satisfy their specific requirements. However, monofocal or progressive spectacles lenses and the implantation of premium intraocular lenses remain the most popular choices, while multifocal contact lenses (MCLs) have a lower adoption probably due to the difficulty of selecting an appropriate lens for each patient. This thesis focuses on overcoming these challenges through the development, evaluation and validation of new functionalities for SimVis Gekko, the first wearable and binocular visual simulator of presbyopic corrections, oriented towards the simulation of MCLs...
