What are multifocal contact lenses?
Multifocal contact lenses, also known as progressive contact lenses, are designed to help you focus at several distances: far away, at intermediate range and up close. Their goal is to provide functional vision for people noticing tired eyes or presbyopia, without relying solely on glasses.
Unlike a single-vision lens, which corrects only one distance, multifocals combine different powers in the same lens. The brain learns to select the sharpest image depending on what you are looking at, in a process known as simultaneous vision.
