Presbyopia is an age-related condition that diminishes the eye's ability to focus on close objects, affecting most individuals over 40. This condition necessitates the use of reading materials to be held at arm's length to achieve clarity. Health Today offers advanced solutions for presbyopia with bifocal and multifocal contact lenses, providing an attractive alternative to traditional reading glasses or bifocal eyeglasses for those seeking convenience without compromising on style or vision quality.
Bifocal contact lenses are designed with two distinct sections for different vision powers – the upper part for distance and the lower part for near vision, allowing users to adjust their focus as needed. However, they might not offer clear vision for mid-range distances.
Multifocal contact lenses offer a more seamless vision transition with multiple powers in one lens, including options like trifocals or progressive lenses. These lenses provide a broad range of vision from near to far, mimicking natural vision more closely than bifocals.
For those who might find multifocal lenses challenging, monovision offers a unique solution by using your dominant eye for distance vision and your non-dominant eye for near vision, effectively splitting your vision correction needs between your eyes.
These lenses allow you to see both near and far simultaneously. Your eyes naturally learn to select the correct portion of the lens for the object you're focusing on, offering a convenient adjustment period.
Modeled after bifocal glasses, these lenses have distinct zones for near and distance vision, depending on where you direct your gaze. The design can be customized to your vision needs, whether you're looking straight ahead or downwards.
Corrects one eye for distance and the other for near vision, providing automatic adjustment based on viewing distance through contact lenses or surgery.
