What Makes a Multifocal Contact Best for Dry Eyes?
Choosing multifocal contacts for dry eyes is not just about the prescription. Comfort hinges on the right blend of lens material, moisture retention science, and surface technology. At iDoctor, our patients benefit from in-depth diagnostic fittings using digital phoropters and Optikam digital measurements, allowing us to match you with options that safeguard your eye health and keep discomfort away—even on the longest screen days.
- Silicone Hydrogel Materials
We recommend silicone hydrogel lenses because they deliver excellent oxygen to the eye, helping maintain a stable tear film. This is key for dry eye patients who want healthy, hydrated eyes all day. - High-Moisture Surface Treatments
Cutting-edge multifocal lenses use water gradient technologies, such as those found in newer daily disposable designs, to create a nearly 100% water content at the lens surface. This delivers a silky, friction-free feel even if your natural tears are limited. Look for advanced coatings that minimize deposit buildup and resist evaporation, reducing mid-day dryness. - Innovations Aimed at Dryness Relief
Some brands incorporate proprietary molecules or moisture-retaining agents directly into lens manufacturing, which can draw moisture and hold it at the surface. These options are especially helpful for patients who spend hours in air-conditioned spaces or on digital devices. - Replacement Schedules Matter
Daily multifocals offer the cleanest, most allergen-resistant experience, while monthly options can be great if paired with diligent cleaning routines and premium solutions. If you’re unsure which fits your lifestyle and dryness profile, we invite you to visit iDoctor for an assessment and in-office trial.

Silicone hydrogel and water gradient designs are the gold standard. Our team will help you select the ideal blend of moisture, oxygen permeability, and deposit resistance based on your individual tear quality, prescription, and daily routine.
