You may notice your near and far vision getting worse as you age. Your vision naturally worsens as you age, making your prior prescription eyewear outdated and less viable. Bifocal lenses can help you see clearly at any distance, so you will not have trouble reading or doing other activities. Bandera Eye Care in Bandera, TX, offers bifocal lenses as part of our optometry services. We are here to help you see vividly again at any distance with our bifocal contact lenses.
Book OnlineWhen You Might Need Bifocal Contact Lenses
You may notice you are having trouble reading or seeing objects up close if you wear traditional contacts. Your eyes might be developing a condition known as presbyopia due to the lenses losing some of their flexibility. Developing presbyopia is common for people over 40. Having to hold books or screens further away from your face to see them clearly might be a sign of presbyopia. Bifocal lenses can correct this vision problem and let you see up close with clarity again.
How Do Bifocal Lenses Work?
Bifocal contact lenses have a clear area that provides better vision for objects further away. They also have a smaller, rounded area that helps you see objects close to you more clearly. This area is usually in the central part of the contact lenses. Wearing bifocal contacts improves your vision at both distances, so you do not have to change contacts or glasses based on your current activity.
Types of Bifocal Lenses
You can get either soft or rigid gas-permeable bifocal contact lenses. Soft lenses provide a more comfortable fit, while rigid gas-permeable lenses are easier to put in and take out. Our optometrist will help you determine which bifocal contact lenses best suit your visual needs and lifestyle. You can also choose disposable bifocal contacts that you can use daily, weekly, or monthly.
Adjusting to Bifocal Lenses
Adjusting to bifocal lenses may take some time due to your eyes needing to adjust to both vision zones in the lenses. You should wear your new bifocal lenses regularly to give your eyes time to adjust. You should also avoid switching between traditional and bifocal lenses. Our optometrist can advise you on ways to make the transition to bifocal contact lenses smoother for your eyes.
