Best multifocal contact lenses 2022

It all started when the words on your book began appearing blurry until you moved it further away, or you suddenly noticed you had to squint to read your text messages on your phone. You booked an appointment to see your optician and found out your eyes are developing presbyopia.

First of all, we can’t stress this enough: it’s perfectly natural and absolutely nothing to worry about. There are 2 billion people around the world living with presbyopia as we speak, and opticians say that most of us will at some point in our lives. You see: it’s not just your muscles that change as you grow older, your eyes change too. So it makes sense that as your eye’s natural lens loses its flexibility over the years, it becomes harder to focus on nearby text. While it doesn’t exclusively affect people over 40, experts say that’s usually the time that most people begin to notice symptoms.

Back to your optician visit. They’ve taken you through treatment options and you selected the most fuss-free: multifocal contact lenses. But they don’t have time to run you through all the different contact lens products out there and how they would best suit your lifestyle. It’s not just a matter of correcting presbyopia, but also important to find lenses you can afford and that fit into your daily routine best, so it’s important not to be pigeon-holed with deciding.

* All ACUVUE® Brand Contact Lenses have UV Blocking to help provide protection against transmission of harmful UV radiation to the cornea and into the eye. UV absorbing contact lenses are NOT substitutes for protective UV absorbing eyewear such as UV absorbing goggles or sunglasses because they do not completely cover the eye and surrounding area. You should continue to use UV absorbing eyewear as directed by your optician.
