Discount Bifocal Contacts

Bifocal contacts

Bifocal contacts are a special type of contact lenses that have two powers on the same lens, allowing patients to correct both their near and distance vision at the same time. They are normally prescribed for people who have been diagnosed with presbyopia – a visual condition in which one’s ability to focus is severely diminished, leading to blurred near and distance vision. Bifocal contacts can be made of rigid gas permeable materials or soft materials. Soft bifocal lenses are the most popular type of bifocal contact lenses.

Soft bifocal lenses

Soft bifocal lenses are simultaneous vision lenses, where the eye looks through both prescriptions at the same time and learns to distinguish between which powers to use for certain types of vision. They come in two different designs – concentric rings design or an aspheric design.

Aside from long wear or disposable ones, you can also find bifocal lenses that are authorized for up to 30 days of continuous wear (during the night and during the day). If your visual condition needs correction for more than two prescription strengths, then you can opt for multifocal contact lenses that have more than two powers on the same lens.
