Bifocal Soft Contacts





 
People above 40 often start losing their near vision.  Bifocal soft contacts have been available for over 20 years, but new designs have made fitting patients easier. The idea is to give both far and near vision.  Acuvue Oasys and Bausch and Lomb PureVision are two of these.  Cooper Vision came out with Biofinity, which seems to give both far and near vision.  

These lenses can accomodate 80% of your vision needs, but usually need to be supplemented with occasional use of reading glasses.

Some of these contact lens manufacturers offer rebates that aren't available through websites or other third party distributors, so give our office a call to learn more.
