Understanding Multifocal Contact Lenses

Multifocal contact lenses are specialised lenses designed to correct presbyopia, allowing clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances. They incorporate multiple optical powers within a single lens, replacing the need for glasses.

Adapting to multifocal lenses can take some time as your brain learns to adjust to the different focal zones. Practice shifting your gaze between near and far objects, and give yourself a little extra time for activities like driving at night or intense close vision while you get used to them.

A professional eye exam and fitting are required to determine the exact lens type, material, and power suited to your eyes. Multifocal contact lenses are not available in all prescriptions, a compromise to your vision may be necessary, our optometrists are happy to discuss suitability anytime.
