Experience with multifocal contacts.

[N80]

I stayed with my multifocals but the lens for my left eye is better at distance and the one for my right eye is better at reading. But since they are still multifocals middle distance vision is about the same for both. This works pretty well. I can work in them (computer and seeing patients), I can do outdoor stuff (tractor, hunting, chores and projects) and they work well for driving too. Dashboard and distance are good. They are still not as good at anything as my multifocal glasses......but they don't have all the downsides that glasses have. What they are not good at is prolonged reading, especially small print. For that I can put on a pair of reading glasses over the contacts or just remove the contacts.

The problem I'm having which will probably make the contacts not worth it is dry old eyes. For the last few weeks my eyes get very irritated with the contacts in more than 4-5 hours, even with a new pair.:grumpy:

I had not thought of trying multifocal with different distances for each eye like you have. I'll see how these work for now, and I'll mention that to my doctor when I see her in about a week.

The 'dry eye' seems to be an issue with me too, but they don't get uncomfortable, they just get blurry. I think there are prescription pills you can take for 'dry eyes'.

I initially assumed that multifocal contacts had all three distance levels (near, mid, far) precisely customized in them. But it seems that they simply vary a degree or so around a base level. (Sorry I don't know the proper lingo).
