Did you think your astigmatism and presbyopia would render you incapable of wearing stylish contact lenses? Well think again! Multifocal toric contact lenses are specifically designed for people who have both astigmatism and presbyopia. The multifocals are even available in a soft lens. This allows even people with serious and complex vision issues to be able to enjoy the comfort soft contacts offer. With multifocal contact lenses no one has to know you have a vision problem but you. These lenses allow you to change the color or design inside your eyes without having to give up the ability to see clearly or read fine print.

With the U.S. population as a whole aging, the need for multifocal lenses has become more pressing. The youngest of the Baby Boomers are now nearing age sixty. While their vision may be growing dim, they still want to see the world and everything in it; but they don’t want to do it wearing bifocal glasses. Multifocal toric contact lenses allow people to look only as old as they feel. The lenses let people with multiple vision challenges still be stylish while addressing their vision issues. The multifocal contacts are available in soft lenses, however most vision specialists recommend multifocal contact wearers use hard contact lenses.

Contact lens technology is evolving rapidly. Today not only can people who require multifocal toric contact lenses choose between hard lenses and soft ones, they now have the option of using disposables as well. The lenses are designed to be replaced every thirty days. But they are not for everyone. It is important for patients considering getting a pair of multifocal toric contact lenses see their optometrist for a thorough eye exam. Your doctor can help you do decide if multifocal toric contact lenses are right for you.
