What is the best soft bifocal contact lens available on the market?
There is no one "best" soft bifocal contact lens. Different
soft bifocals work differently for different people. There are a number
of designs available, including lenses that have the distance portion
in the center and lenses that have the reading portion in the center.
In addition to soft bifocals, there are many rigid gas permeable (RGP)
bifocal options. With both SCLs and RGPs, patients may be
fit with monovision where one eye is corrected for distance and one eye
for near. This fitting strategy may incorporate bifocal contact lenses
and is then referred to as modified or enhanced monovision.
Your eye care practitioner will select the best option for you based
on the measurements of your eyes and your specific visual demands. The
fitting process may take several visits in order to find the lenses that
work best for you.
