Near vision favours trifocals in the cited synthesis; lack of a detected difference on other endpoints does not establish equivalence.
Review p. 03 · references R2–R3Technology
Different optical architectures are pursuing a continuous visual experience with a smaller optical penalty.
This is the report’s strategic interpretation, not a product ranking or a synthetic head-to-head comparison.
Review pp. 04–05Adoption
Clinical value must also overcome cost, workflow and switching friction.
The adoption framework is OIE interpretation, not a validated clinical score. Adjustability addresses a different problem from trifocality.
