How Can We Help?
Bifocal Contact Lenses
Sometime around the age of 40, most of us will begin to notice that our near vision is getting worse. We have to hold objects further away to see them clearly. This is a condition called Presbyopia.
For contact lens wearers needing help with their near vision, there are basically 3 options: see distant objects well in both eyes and wear reading glasses, see well far away with one eye and close up with the other (called monovision), and bifocal contact lenses. Of the three, the best option is bifocal contact lenses.
Bifocal contacts are available in both soft and gas permeable rigid materials. While soft bifocals work well, gas permeable, by far, provide the superior vision.
Dr. Friedberg wears gas permeable bifocal lenses.
