Presbyopia Treatment with Contact Lenses
Contact Lenses that correct presbyopia are also an attractive vision correction option for those who do not wish to be dependent on eyeglasses for presbyopia correction. Bifocal and Multifocal Contact Lenses are available in both soft contact lens options and rigid gas permeable contact lens options. There are presbyopia contacts that are segmented and have zones just like bifocals and trifocals and presbyopia contacts that have a smooth gradual change in focus, just like PALs. Each type of presbyopia correcting contact lens offers advantages and disadvantages. Which type of lens is best for you depends on your prescription and what kinds of activities you participate in each day at work, home and for recreation. Discussing these vision correction requirements with your Optometrist, Optician, or Ophthalmologist will help them prescribe the best possible presbyopia contact lens correction for your situation.
