Customized Multifocal Contact Lenses

Multifocal contact lenses are contact lenses with several different focal points and are an ideal solution to correcting vision from varying distances.

Multifocal contact lenses had been known to cause adjustment issues in the past, giving them a bad reputation. These issues are long gone since new technologies facilitate comfortable use of multifocal lenses as long as they are customized to the patient’s needs and condition.

To ensure optimal customization of the multifocal lenses, and in order to allow patients to comfortably wear them at any time of the day, customized multifocal lenses should be ordered based on the patient’s needs and eye structure.

The customization process includes in-depth eye exams, precision measurement and selection of the lens made of materials that conform most to the specific patient’s requirements.

The importance of choosing the type of lens is affected by the type of technologies currently available, e.g.: hard breathable multifocal contact lenses with high oxygen permeability, soft multifocal contact lenses that incorporate lubricant and even contain silicon hydrogel or water grade to provide maximum comfort for even dry eye, etc.
