Bifocal / Multifocal Contact Lenses

One of the greatest aspects of getting older is all of the acquired wisdom. One of the not so wonderful parts of aging is blurry vision, but bifocal & multifocal contact lenses can help provide visual acuity. Presbyopia is a condition of the eye that affects pretty much everyone as they age. Somewhere around the age of 40 or shortly thereafter, people typically start to notice a blurring of vision when they try to see things that are close up, especially in situations where lighting is not abundant. Even those who have had perfect vision all their lives will have to deal with presbyopia at some point. The reason for this change in vision is that over time the lens of the eye and the tissue around it starts to stiffen, which makes it hard for the lens to bend to focus on close-up objects.

Fortunately, there is a simple way to deal with presbyopia while still addressing any other vision issues. Wearing glasses is one way that people with presbyopia can achieve clear vision, but bifocal contacts can be awkward and difficult to get used to. Fumbling for reading glasses every time you need to see something up close is not ideal either. Luckily, there is another option. Bifocal contacts and multifocal contacts are made for those who are dealing with presbyopia issues and don’t want to deal with the hassle of wearing glasses.

What sets bifocal and multifocal contacts apart from standard contact lenses is that they have more than one correction built into them, allowing wearers to see clearly at varying distances. Due to the fact that different areas of correction are incorporated into bifocal and multifocal contacts, these kinds of lenses need to stay relatively stationary on the eye. As such, bifocal contacts and multifocal contacts have special features built into them to keep them in place and ensure that vision is consistent.

Comfort is always a consideration when shopping for contact lenses and it’s no different for those who are looking for a good bifocal contact lens or multifocal contact lens. There is no need to worry that these kinds of lenses will be uncomfortable as they have a wide range of comfort features built into them. Each brand boasts its own comfort benefits such as special materials used to lock in moisture, enhanced breathability, and build-up resistant material.
