As patients approach their early to mid 40s, their reading and computer vision slowly but surely begins to worsen, known as presbyopia
. Presbyopia is a normal change over time. Patients can choose to try reading glasses, a bifocal, or simply holding reading materials farther out. This becomes tiresome after awhile.
Multifocal contact lenses can help. These contact lenses correct both distance and near vision. These lenses can be highly customized with different powers for both distance and near correction. Most patients adapt to theses lenses in 1-2 weeks. Multifocal contact lenses commonly come in monthly disposable or daily disposable options. If you have been told you can't wear contact lenses in the past, times have changed; we may have lenses that meet your needs and visual demands.
In today's digital age with computers, tablets, and smartphones, clear and comfortable near vision is more important that ever before. Dr. Finn can help you meet your contact lens needs; call today to setup an appointment if you'd like to try these lenses.
