Multifocal contact lenses: a practical solution for presbyopia

Return

Have you ever struggled to read a menu at a restaurant or use your smartphone without your reading glasses? Rest assured, you're not alone. Many of our customers share this experience and have found an effective solution with multifocal contact lenses.

Ideal for people with presbyopia, these lenses allow you to easily switch from near to distant vision. Let’s explore together how these lenses can transform your sight and bring you newfound comfort.

What is presbyopia?

Presbyopia is a visual impairment that typically occurs after the age of 40. It is caused by the loss of flexibility in the eye's lens, making it difficult to focus on close objects. Symptoms include blurry vision when reading, using screens, and eye strain.

How do multifocal contact lenses work?

They use special technology that incorporates multiple correction zones, unlike regular contact lenses that correct vision at just one distance, either near or far. Multifocal lenses have several correction zones, offering you clear vision at all distances.

 

  • The central zone (part of your lens located in the middle, in front of the pupil) is often designed for near vision, allowing you to clearly focus on close objects.

  • The peripheral zone (part of your lens surrounding the central zone, around the pupil) corrects your distance vision, so you can see distant objects clearly.

 

This advanced design allows you to switch easily from one distance to another without changing glasses, providing a practical and effective solution for clear vision at all distances.

The benefits

These lenses offer several advantages over reading glasses or progressive lenses:

 

  • Good vision at all distances: They correct your near and far vision.

  • Freedom and comfort: They offer you greater freedom of movement and are especially useful for sports activities.

  • Aesthetic: They give you a new style since you no longer need to wear glasses.

How to choose the right lenses?

To choose the model that suits your needs, consider these two factors:

 

  • Have an eye exam with your ophthalmologist: Before choosing contact lenses, it is crucial to have a comprehensive eye exam. An ophthalmologist can confirm if you need multifocal lenses and provide the necessary prescription to correct your vision.

  • Your lifestyle: Think about your daily needs. Do you spend a lot of time in front of screens? Are you athletic? Your activities influence the type of lenses that will suit you best.

 

Here are some examples of multifocal contact lenses, based on different profiles:
