Multifocal contact lenses make it easy for people to see clearly at all distances. They come in many different styles and types, so it’s important to know what each one has to offer before choosing the best pair for your eyes.
Multifocal contact lenses are made with more than one prescription on either one or both sides. This allows them to correct both nearsightedness and farsightedness simultaneously.
One major advantage of wearing multifocals is that they provide clear vision whether you are looking up close or far away. This eliminates the need for multiple pairs of contacts throughout the day when switching activities that require different prescription correction levels.
Multifocal contact lenses use concentric rings, which transition from distance power towards reading power as you move outwards from the center of the lens (or vice versa). This is because they focus light differently, depending on where it falls on the lens surface.
Multifocal contact lenses come in different types.
Multifocal contact lenses are designed for individuals who need clear vision at all distances but don’t want to wear glasses or switch between different pairs of contacts throughout the day. This type of lens is especially beneficial for those with presbyopia, which is a condition that affects your ability to focus on
near objects as you age.
