CooperVision's add eliminates refitting later.

Power to presbyopes
CooperVision announces the addition of a +1.00 add to the power range of its Frequency 55 Multifocal contact lens.

The company says that the true test of a multifocal is its ability to provide successful accommodative vision throughout the full presbyopic range; the addition of the new +1.00 add means that the Frequency 55 is suitable for new presbyopes. Thus, it's less likely patients will require refitting as they later require increased add power.
