Multifocal Contact Lenses Are a Glimpse Into the
Future

Presbyopia is a condition that is almost
impossible to avoid because it can affect anyone.
Indeed, almost 30 of Americans suffer from this
condition that is most common amongst those over
40 years of age.

As the eye weakens, objects that are close up
start to appear blurred. If things were not bad
enough however, those with presbyopia are also
open to other problems like myopia which causes
far away objects to become unclear.

A combination of presbyopia and myopia really
plays havoc with a persons life as nothing is
clear to them.

Up until a few years ago, such people would have
to continuously change lenses depending on what
they were doing. With the advent of multifocal
contact lenses however, those days are gone and
everyone can enjoy the clear vision they
deserve.

Before explaining more about multifocal contact
lenses, it should be stressed that they are not
some magical solution that guarantees clear
vision regardless of your condition.

Certain individuals vision will not be in a
situation where multifocal lenses can work. In
these instances, glasses will still be required
for a variety of tasks.

This means that those commercials which depict
delighted wearers of multifocal lenses binning
their glasses should be taken with a pinch of
salt.

This means that those commercials which depict
delighted wearers of multifocal lenses binning
their glasses should be taken with a pinch of
salt.Believing such propaganda will inevitably
lead to a large number of disappointed people.

Multifocal lenses are available in concentric,
simultaneous and altering contacts form.

With concentric contact lenses, there are two
different prescriptions with one surrounding the
other. The center of the lens will have the
near-distance prescription with the far distance
prescription left on the outside.
Multifocal contact lenses
12
Simultaneous lenses are a fascinating design
insofar as both near and far prescriptions are
deliberately placed upon one another. The brain
then decides which one needs to be used depending
on the situation.

Altering lenses are probably the least popular of
the three and involve different prescriptions on
the bottom and top of the lens. This means that
it is vital to for the wearer to place the lens
on their eye in the correct manner.

In the event that multifocal contact lenses do
not work for you, do not despair. There is the
possibility that monovision contact lenses could
improve your vision. Occasionally, one eye may
have myopia and the other could have presbyopia.

If this is the case, your optometrist may elect
to place a monovision contact lenses in the
myopic eye while the other eye could benefit from
a different lens to battle presbyopia.

Yet it is likely that multifocal contact lenses
will alleviate the vision problems of all but a
minority of presbyopia and myopia sufferers.

Contact lenses led a new revolution with regards
to better vision and multifocal lenses are the
latest addition. Although there may always be
occasions when glasses are required, these
situations are becoming less frequent.

It seems inevitable that in future, lenses that
enable those who loath glasses to finally cast
them aside for good will be created. As things
stand, multifocal lenses are painting a clearer
picture for millions of people around the
world.
