There are different ways of fitting contact lenses to enable clear vision across the different focal distances: Multifocal lenses change their power across their surface, much like progressive or varifocal glasses, whilst some bifocal designs have two distinct lens powers. There is also a wide range of lenses available from daily disposables to complex, tailor made lenses.
Soft multifocal lenses are very comfortable for either full or part time wear. Gas rigid lenses transmit oxygen making them easier to handle and very durable. They also offer health benefits because they don’t dehydrate and are less likely to collect bacteria than soft lenses. Whilst they may take greater time to adapt to, they provide a stable, often sharper vision. Rigid gas permeable lenses are a bespoke lens, made for the precise curvature, diameter and corrective powers to suit your unique eyes.
Available for those who are short or far sighted, those with astigmatism and those who need correction at distance and near as well as those with high prescriptions.
