Understanding Multifocal Contact Lens
Multifocal contact lenses is an advanced vision correction option designed to address presbyopia, an age-related condition affecting near vision. These lenses feature varying prescriptions in different zones, enabling clear vision at different distances. For individuals experiencing age-related vision issues, multifocal contact lenses provide a convenient solution by seamlessly transitioning between near, intermediate, and far focal points.
Various Kinds of Multifocal Contact Lens
- Multifocal Contact Lenses: Designed to mimic progressive lenses found in multifocal eyeglasses, these lenses feature a gradual power shift for a seamless transition from distance to near vision.
- Bifocal Contact Lenses: These lenses have clearly divided focus zones on the top (for primary refractive issues like myopia or astigmatism) and bottom (to assist with presbyopia) of the lens.
- Concentric Multifocal Lenses: Instead of top-to-bottom segments, these lenses consist of rings or concentric circles. Users of concentric multifocal contact lenses may experience superior visual acuity compared to other types.
