these are the best presbyopia multifocal contact lenses out there monthly two-week and dailies
let's focus in now first off this list is not exhaustive these are some of the best lenses
that work for a lot of patients just really quick I want to answer one question a lot of people ask
me how multi-focal contacts actually work do they have lines kind of like lined bifocals
or progressive glasses in there they actually have zones of vision in there so they might have a near
intermediate and distance zone so you actually have light that gets past through the contact
and it actually gets focused for all different zones simultaneously so they don't have a line
that you actually have to look through in the contact lenses first monthly contact is Bausch
alarm Ultra for presbyopia this multifocal contact lens is actually really great it's a
center near design great for transitioning from near to distance and back to near they come in
low and high ad power so low and high near powers for when you're reading or looking at the computer
now the reason why I wanted to mention this one is because because this brand actually has toric
multifocal contact lenses that means they have multifocals for people that have astigmatism as
well so it's actually very nice for this brand to provide contact lenses for people to have
astigmatism because that's actually kind of a rare thing nowadays is to actually be able to provide
that type of vision so if you have astigmatism this might be one that you want to look into
another similar multifocal contact lens is by coopervision biofinity now they actually have
toric multifocal options but this type of design isn't new by any means but they can help dial in a
prescription for a patient they come with distance Center and near Center designs you can customize
the ad power ranging from plus one to 250 and so it actually can help if you're wanting to
personalize and customize the prescription in a patient another great multifocal monthly contact
lenses from Alcon it's their Air Optics plus hydroglide they have low medium or low mid and
high ad powers for all distances that you might need this is definitely one of my go-to lenses I
tend to have a lot of success with patients when I first fit them in multifocal lenses and really
a lot of patients do do well with the multifocal Air Optics contact lenses now moving on to the
two week options and really there's only one option out there that's by vistakon The acuvue
Oasis multifocal contact lens now there used to be an acuvue presbyopia contact lens it was a
multi-focal contact lens that it's been out for about 10 years it's actually been discontinued
and so now the new one is acuvue oasis multifocal now they switched their design to this multifocal
to have a pupil optimized multifocal and it was a good switch because the pupil optimized multifocal
is actually a pretty unique design compared to the other multifocal options as we age our pupils tend
to get smaller we also have different pupil sizes depending on our prescription option and they took
all that into account they did a huge survey and study of different pupil sizes and ages
and prescriptions and they came up with a line of multi-focal contact lenses depending on your age
and the prescription that will optimize your pupil size and so it actually works better it changes
the size of the zones that are in the contact lenses to give you optimized Vision now moving
on to daily multi-focal contact lens options I definitely want to mention this one it's a Bausch
and Lawn product Biotrue for presbyopia this is probably one of the best bang for your buck
type of contact lenses type of multifocal contact lenses it's the same design as the ultra contact
lenses just in a good comfortable daily lens and so if you're looking for dailies and you want to
wear multifocals this is a good option next on the list is a more premium design contact lens
it's from Alcon it's the dailies total one multifocal same design as their monthly air
option plus hydraglyde but in their water gradient daily contact lens that has an exceptional type
of comfort to it a lot of patients actually love this type of lens it can be very comfortable for
people that are usually irritated with contact lenses or their eyes might be a little bit more
dry this one is a great option a premium lens option multifocal that works well for a lot of
people now because of the premium lens you might be paying a little bit more for this one but
yeah if you are usually irritated with contact lenses this is a good option now fairly new to
the market as of making this video is another vistakon product acuvue Oasis Max multifocal
now this lens so far I've had great success with it now this has the same design as their two week
Acuvue Oasis multi-focal contact lens it has that pupil optimized design so it works really well
this also has a new wetability technology to keep the context from drying out so also an excellent
option for people that usually have dryness with contact lenses plus they have that pupil optimized
design for the best Vision best multifocal vision and so this is an excellent option A lot of Best
