What Are Multifocal Contacts for Dry, Sensitive Eyes?

Multifocal contact lenses are a popular solution for patients who want clear vision at all distances without glasses—and they are especially valuable for those experiencing dry eyes, which is common as we age or use digital devices for long hours. Unlike single-vision or traditional bifocal contacts, multifocal contacts feature zones for near, intermediate, and distance vision.

• Moisture-Retaining Materials: Advanced lenses often use silicone hydrogel and high water content to keep eyes hydrated, even in dry winter heat or summer AC.
• Surface Moisturizing Technologies: Innovations like water gradient and moisture-seal layers can provide a silky, lubrication film that helps with dryness.
• Designed for Digital Life: Many new lenses are optimized for those who spend hours on screens, work outdoors, or drive frequently.

For the Glendale Heights area, where seasonal changes in humidity are the norm, choosing the right lens material and replacement schedule truly matters. Our team uses digital phoropters for highly accurate measurement and comfort-focused recommendations.
