The contact lens team at Shady Grove Eye and Vision Care has achieved success in fitting new classes and categories of Bifocal and multifocal contact lenses. These newer soft (often available as disposable) contact lenses provide patients with distance, intermediate and near vision and has proven to be much more successful than bifocal contact lens predecessors if fit properly. In the past, bifocal contact lenses were successful in less than 40 percent of patients who tried to wear them. They also were prohibitively expensive and in many cases would end up on the medicine shelf after weeks or months of wearing attempts. We now fit over 90% of patients successfully. The new class of Multifocal lenses are comfortable, easy to use and adapt to and are relatively inexpensive. The patient has it easy with these lenses; adaptation is fast. . . the doctor must spend time analyzing the prescription to maximize vision with the lens. The new Multifocal lens designs can give you your young eyes back! Call our office today to set up your Multifocal Contact Lens Fitting.
