Multifocal contact lenses are needed when two different prescriptions are required for optimal vision correction: one for distance, the other for reading and close-up vision. It is common to require different strengths of correction for different tasks from the age of 45 and up. Just like multifocal eyeglasses, multifocal contact lenses incorporate areas of distinct prescription-strength within different parts of the lens. Some have segments which resemble bifocal glasses, others have rings of alternating power which is calculated after conducting your comprehensive eye exam.
Options For Optimal Vision
In the past, contact lenses were not an option for people who required bifocal prescriptions, but with today’s technologies, contact lenses are available in multifocal prescriptions. Progress in this technology means that new lenses are being designed each year for people with a variety of vision problems that used to exclude them from contact lens use.
The skilled and highly-trained team at Bower Eye Care is committed to delivering the newest and most advanced developments in contact lens design to our patients so that their choices for vision correction are not limited by their diagnosis. Through comprehensive eye exams we are able to provide the clearest insight into your eye health and vision prescription so that you can make informed decisions to improve your sight. Our clinics have priority status with most contact lens companies. This enables us to carry and order a variety of lenses and provide our patients with the latest contact lens technology.
