Multifocal Contact Lens Fitting
If you are over the age of 40 and beginning to find near prints a bit blurry and difficult to focus with your current contact lenses, then you may start to have a condition medically known as ‘presbyopia’ which literally means ‘old eye’. Or you might have already given up contact lenses for years for the same reason, then here is good news!
The new generation multifocal contact lenses will help solve your vision problems for both distance and near, whether you are shortsighted, longsighted or you never require distance corrections before.
Different from single vision contact lenses, these multifocal contact lenses have 3 zones at the centre of the lens corresponding to distance, intermediate and near vision. Depending on the design, the lens can be centre distance or centre near. The eye will receive all three different images before it transmits them to the brain which through integration will in turn provide the vision for a particular distance required. For example, when we read, the brain will process the near zone image for us so that we can see at near.
