With bifocal lenses, the top lens portion is used for distance vision, whereas the the bottom portion of the lens is used for near (reading) vision. Bifocal contacts offer the wearer alternating vision aid, allowing for near and distance vision correction. Bifocal contacts are fitted specifically to the wearers eyes. These lenses are designed for patients who present presbyopia. Available as both soft contact lenses or gas permeable contacts, bifocals today can be purchased as disposable lenses or frequent replacement wear lenses. Daily disposable bifocal lenses are quickly becoming the most popular choice in bifocal contacts in the marketplace today. What you need to know about bifocal contact lenses There are three primary designs of bifocal contacts. 1) Bifocals with concentric design - With this design of lenses, the near vision correction is usually in the middle of the lens and the distance vision correction is on the exterior parts of the lens b) Bifocals with aspheric design - With these bifocals, both the near and distance vision correction sits close to the center c) Bifocals with translating design - These bifocals provide near vision correction at the bottom portion of the lens and distance vision correction at the top Bifocal contacts can also vary is terms of how vision correction is achieved. Some bifocals are designed in a similar fashion to bifocal eyeglasses, with the wearer's two different prescriptions divided halfway on the lens. Other bifocal lenses will blend the different prescriptions across the contact in a similar fashion to progressive eyeglasses. The various features offered by different bifocal contact lenses provide the wearer with varied benefits and features. A visit to your eye care practitioner is all it takes to ensure that you get the best bifocals to address your unique vision needs.
