What Are Multifocal Contact Lenses?
Multifocal contact lenses are vision correction lenses designed for people with presbyopia—a normal, age-related shift where near vision becomes blurry, even if distance vision still feels sharp. Unlike single vision lenses that focus at just one distance, multifocals contain several optical zones within each lens, providing a smooth transition between reading, computer, and distance vision. Modern multifocal contacts use advanced designs—such as center-near, center-distance, and progressive zone configurations—to help the eye interpret images at every range, often with a quick, natural adjustment period.
