Multifocal contact lenses are contact lenses that have multiple prescriptions all in one lens. They are designed to correct vision impairments affecting both near and far vision, and are ideal for people with presbyopia. Multifocal contact lenses are made with different lens powers, allowing wearers to see clearly at varying distances. They come in both soft lens and rigid gas permeable (RGP) lens materials, and there are two main types of multifocal contact lens designs: concentric circles of lens powers prescribed for various viewing distances, and blended designs that keep both the near and distance prescriptions close to the center of the eye. Multifocal contact lenses offer a lot of performance ability, but may also be more difficult to adjust to due to a different viewing experience, and may be accompanied by nighttime glare and hazy or shadowy vision during the adjustment period. Factors to consider when choosing multifocal contact lenses include cost, comfort, and overall wear experience.
