Enjoy The Freedom Multifocal Contact Lenses Offer
Instant Vision Correction Whenever And Wherever You Need It

Are you tired of having to reach for your eyeglasses or having to look for them every time you need to read something up close? Or perhaps you've never worn eyeglasses, but lately your vision has been getting worse and you've caught yourself holding your reading material farther away from your eyes. You don't want to bother with bifocal eyeglasses, but you need to be able to read without straining your eyes. Leave your worries behind, give multifocal contact lenses a try.

Some multifocal contacts feature three prescriptions in one lens including intermediate distance so you can do computer work. Focus Progressives by Ciba Vision is a good alternative to no line progressive eyeglasses and a good contact lens choice if you use a computer. The difference between multifocal and bifocal contacts? Multifocals, also called progressive lenses, provide a smooth, distortion-free vision transition between far and near distances.

Both the bifocal and multifocal lens types are available in a wide range of categories, including soft and rigid gas permeable materials as well as daily or monthly disposables. Two of the most popular and successful multifocals are Acuvue Bifocal by Johnson & Johnson and Proclear Multifocal.

You have probably heard or read that bifocal and multifocal contacts are a "compromise" because they are difficult to get used to and complicated to prescribe. The reality is that bifocal eyeglasses are, as well. With a good lens fitting, some people adjust almost instantly to multifocal or bifocal contacts.and there's no way to know if you will adapt well except by trying them out for yourself, and working with your eye doctor to find the fit that is just right for you.

Simply stated, you might need to try several contact lens brands for the best vision and fit, and you'll be glad to know that the major lens manufacturers offer free trial lenses. All you have to do is go directly to their website or run a search for "free trial contact lenses" on your browser. You'll be asked to complete a form, submit it and you'll be sent a free trial contact lens certificate, which you can take to a participating eye care provider. So remember to get several certificates from different manufacturers, so you can try on more than one lens brand.

Do you have astigmatism as well? Rest easy, multifocal lenses are now available in soft and rigid gas permeable toric designs, which correct for astigmatism. However, multifocal toric lenses are not widely available online.

In summary multifocal contacts provide a great vision without the lines and the distortion of old bifocal glasses, and it takes the average person 6 to 8 weeks to get used to them.

If you are one of the few who cannot get used to bifocal or multifocal contact lenses, your eye care doctor may evaluate you for monovision. With monovision, one eye is prescribed a lens for distance and the other eye for close up vision. Though this option also involves an adjustment period, it works out great for many people.
