What Are Multifocal Contact Lenses—and Are They Right for You?
Published: August 2025
At a Glance:
Multifocal contact lenses are specially designed to help people see clearly at near, intermediate, and far distances.
They offer a convenient alternative to bifocals or progressives—especially for active adults and those experiencing presbyopia.
A personalized fitting from a trusted eye care provider ensures comfort, optimal vision—and peace of mind.
What Are Multifocal Contact Lenses?
Similar to multifocal eyeglass lenses, these contact lenses feature multiple "zones"—each focused on a different distance. Unlike single-vision lenses, they allow light to pass through the appropriate zone depending on whether you're reading, using a computer, or driving.
Who Needs Them—and Why?
Many people begin to experience presbyopia in their early to mid-40s, a natural process where the eye’s lens loses flexibility, making near vision blurry. Multifocals help smooth that transition—offering clear vision across all distances without needing separate reading glasses or bifocals.
