Many people turn to inexpensive
reading glasses, but it's important to have regular eye exams.
Prescription lenses and bifocals allow a close-up correction
giving the best possible vision for both close and far. If you
are bothered by the telltale line that marks the bifocal, you
may opt for bifocal contact lenses.
Should your doctor decide that these are not an option,
another increasingly popular alternative is called monovison.
You wear a contact with a close-up correction in one eye and if
necessary, a contact for distance correction in the other. Your
brain gradually learns to adapt, and you see reasonably well
thought out your range of vision.
The close-up contact generally goes in the non-dominant eye.
Most people adapt to this type of len correction in a week or 10
days even if they have never worn contacts before. Even people
with astigmatism can be successful with monovision, often using
rigid gas-permeable contacts instead of soft contacts for more
reliable correction.
While true bifocal contacts are available, most people
adapt to them less successfully than to monovision Bifocal
contacts are difficult to fit, and they don't work for everyone.
However, the latest from Acuvue have been very successful.
In your initial consultation with
your chosen contact lens practitioner a number of tests and
measurements will be performed, usually following a full,
general visual examination. From these measurements the
relationship between your spectacle prescription and the various
ocular and corneal measurements, will determine the optimum
contact lenses for your specific needs.
