If you’re finding yourself switching between readers and distance glasses to handle daily life—or struggling to see your phone, computer, and road signs all with the same pair of contacts—you’re not alone. Many adults in Glendale Heights, as well as nearby towns like Addison and Bloomingdale, start noticing the challenges of presbyopia after age 40. Modern multifocal contact lenses can truly change how you see each part of your day, but only when they’re expertly chosen and personalized for you. As a boutique optical practice, we know choosing the right multifocal is not one-size-fits-all. Here’s how we help you through it every step of the way.

What Are Multifocal Contacts and Why Do They Matter?

By the time we hit our forties, the natural lens inside the eye stiffens, making near work and even screens harder to see. This process, called presbyopia, affects nearly everyone—but how you deal with it is fully personal. Multifocal contacts are soft lenses designed to let you seamlessly view near, far, and everything in between, so there’s less need to switch between glasses or remove your readers.

• See comfortably up close for your phone, books, and fine print
• Work without hassle during long hours at a computer
• Drive and enjoy the outdoors with stable vision
• Handle a range of tasks and lighting conditions from Addison to Glen Ellyn, without missing a beat

At iDoctor, we fit all types of multifocal contact lenses, including daily, biweekly, and monthly options, matching local patient routines from busy professionals to retirees managing errands across Glendale Heights and Carol Stream. Every design is different, and selecting the one that really works for your day is our specialty.

How Multifocal Contact Fittings Work at iDoctor in Glendale Heights

We take a personal, step-by-step approach to getting you the best clarity, including:

1. Comprehensive eye and prescription exam: Using digital phoropters and high-resolution imaging, we check your distance, near and intermediate vision, corneal shape, tear film, and dominant eye.
2. Lifestyle assessment: We ask in detail about your work, driving patterns, device/reading use, and any challenges switching between tasks or seeing in different conditions (like night driving in Addison or working long hours at a Carol Stream office).
3. Lens selection and real-world testing: We provide trial multifocal lenses for you to use several days in your actual routine. This covers everything from reading news, answering emails, to running errands and driving.
4. Follow up and adjustments: After your trial, we review your experiences and fine-tune powers, dominance setup, or brand as needed. This hands-on follow-up is essential—there is no “best” lens for everyone, but there is a best combination for your eyes and lifestyle.

Types of Multifocal Contacts That Actually Work for Everyday Life

We fit many leading brands and styles, selecting based on your comfort, task needs, prescription, and budget.

• Daily disposables (like Dailies Total1 Multifocal): Great for allergy sufferers, those who value convenience, and frequent travelers.
• Monthly and biweekly lenses (Biofinity Multifocal, Bausch + Lomb ULTRA for Presbyopia, Air Optix Multifocal, Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia): Better for those who want consistent vision for long work days, mixing computer use, reading, and driving.
• Lenses for specific challenges: If you split time between close-up and far viewing or have mild dry eye, we’ll often start with Acuvue Oasys or Clariti daily multifocals, both designed for comfort and easy care.

We can adjust dominance, add power selection, and lens material to match how your day really looks. If you have astigmatism, we offer specialty combinations for even sharper vision.

FAQs: Multifocal Contacts in Glendale Heights

Do multifocal contacts really let me read and use a computer comfortably?

Yes—if they’re fitted for your unique vision and distances. Our patients report excellent results for both reading and typical screen use when we customize powers and choose the best design for their routine.

Can I get multifocal contacts with insurance?

Most major plans in the Glendale Heights area (VSP, Eyemed, Cigna, and others) include a contact lens fitting allowance, often including trial pairs and a materials portion for the actual lenses. We clarify all costs upfront.

How long does it take to get used to multifocal contacts?

Most patients in our office adapt within a few days of wear, but minor tweaks are sometimes needed (especially for night driving clarity or intermediate vision). Trial periods at home help us adjust quickly.

Is parking easy and are exams available right away?

Parking is always free and simple. We’re in a plaza with open surface parking on Army Trail Rd. Appointments for new multifocal evaluations are often available same or next day—call or text to get started.

What should I bring for my multifocal fitting?

Please bring your current glasses and/or contacts, plus a list of your most common tasks and screen activities. Knowing where you struggle helps us match the right lenses immediately.
