All the multifocal lenses to correct presbyopia It is an option that more and more patients request from us in our daily medical practice.
Generally, the most indicated type of patient to start treatment are those who present a incipient presbyopia who wear glasses or more conventional contact lenses for eyestrain and who want to make a leap in quality and visual comfort.
What are they and what are they for?
All the multifocal lenses for presbyopia, as the name suggests, They offer a multitude of focus points (far, near, medium distance...) which compensate for the visual loss caused by the presbyopia.
Multifocal contact lenses are a real option to be able to minimize this problem that can arise in our day to day life, being a perfect alternative to wearing progressive glasses and even to refractive surgery.
At present, and thanks to the continuous advances that technology brings us, there are many designs (to adapt to each personal visual situation), materials (which allow us to decide the most appropriate material for each patient based on their tear, activity daily…) and use systems (which allow personalized use according to the needs of each user) and which make this visual option possible.
Who are they for?
Presbyopia or tired eyesight affects most people, generally from 40 years of age. The loss of elasticity of our lens is the most important cause of this change in our vision.
This visual defect requires us to have to wear glasses to be able to maintain good close-up vision, at the same time affecting such routine activities as working with the computer, cooking, painting, going to the supermarket and being able to read prices, labels...
There are many activities, professional or personal needs, for which the use of glasses is not a practical or accepted option for the person who begins to suffer from this situation.
The practice of sports, certain hobbies, aesthetic aspects... are not always compatible with the use of glasses, so the use of contact lenses is a magnificent option.
At first anyone who has already started the visual process of presbyopia or eyestrain, whether they only wear near glasses or are already wearing two glasses, far and near, or progressive glasses, the option to wear multifocal contact lenses for presbyopia.
Is it easy to adapt to these contact lenses?
El process of adaptation to these contact lenses es simple and in a few sessions you will be able to check if this compensation system is suitable for your personal needs. The contactologist will be in charge of carrying out the measurements and assessments that allow design an adaptation program that facilitates this system of visual compensation.
Are they safe?
The security of this type of contact lenses It is the same as any other contact lens, and if for any reason you have already been a contact lens wearer and had any complications, the current systems of use will allow that readaptation may be possible.
Can I use them to practice sports?
Precisely One of the uses in which this type of contact lens is more indicated is in the practice of sports, to avoid the inevitable inconveniences that glasses can cause, both visual and practical.
Doing running, where the lenses will allow us to see far and near (indicator clock) and football or others contact sports where also the contact lens wear is much safer and without the conditions of the use of glasses.
Can I alternate glasses and contact lenses?
The current systems of use enable both compensation systems to be compatible, so we can use the glasses in a time slot or for certain activity, and at another time multifocal contact lenses.
Price
La diversity of designs and systems of use enables the cost of these contact lenses be proportional to the time of use.
