try the multifocal lenses

In Reply to: Anyone that would normally wear bifocals - me
I started wearing bifocals a few years ago and discovered that I could not transcribe with them on, so my eye doctor suggested my contacts with reading glasses which worked really well for a few years. I had 3 pairs of reading glasses that I got in a pack from Sam's for $12. A few months ago, I had my annual exam and he asked me if I wanted to try the new multifocal contact lenses, which are for people with my type of vision--needing bifocals and help with closeup work and distance vision. Well, he tried me in the Soflens contact lenses. I tell you what, they are awesome!! He did say that not everyone likes them or can wear them, so see if you can get a trial pair of these and give youself a few days to get used to them. I love mine. I can read in bed now without my glasses, I can see to drive, I can see to write a check, I can read my grocery list without pulling out reading glasses or squinting at labels in the store, AND I can work with no problems at all. Accuvue makes them and so does Soflens, but he preferred Solflens in the multifocal. Good Luck!!

Multifocal contact lens
Anybody had success with multifocal contact lens? Have been wearing mine a month now and still upclose vision not so clear. I was told they were not having 100 % success with them, so I suppose I am one of those they are not so great for. I love them for my distance, but still have to have readers for up close, which stinks.
I hate my multifocal glasses......can't imagine

Contact lenses ? sm
 I got new contacts a couple months ago and am having trouble with them collapsing after a week or two of wear, making it really hard to get them in. I am beginning to believe they are making them softer so that we have to replace them more often. TIA
Contact lenses
If you take them out at night they will last forever. You shouldn't sleep with them in because the contact lens blocks the exchange of oxygen with your cornea. And besides, if you take them out, they are fresh and feel great in the morning when you put them in.
I have bifocal contact lenses...
I also have the no-line glasses, but don't like to wear them, you always have to be looking in just the right spot to focus. With the contacts, both lenses are evenly distributed around the lens, therefore, no matter where you are looking, far or near, you have just the right focus. Much easier on me. I say go for them!! You won't regret it.
Does anyone wear bifocal contact lenses?
I am considering trying them out and would like to hear others' experiences with them. Currently, I alternate between regular contacts and no-line bifocal glasses. How do your bifocal contact lenses work with MT work (staring at a computer screen for hours)? Thanks!
Need advice on contact lenses for astigmatism. I have tried different soft contacts but
I can't seem to find a soft contact lens that works for my astigmatism that I can wear all day without going blurry on me all the time. I have worn gas permeables in the past, but they are not comfortable anymore either. Any contact lens wearers out there with astigmatism that have found something that works? Even Accuvue Advantage for Astigmatism did not work. Help!
