Multifocal progressive lenses

Multifocal or progressive lenses are a special type of contact lenses designed to correct presbyopia, also known as "tired eye."

Presbyopia is a visual condition that affects many people from the age of 40. It is characterised by the difficulty of approaching closely, which makes it difficult to read, clearly see objects at a short distance or perform tasks that require a detailed vision of the site.

Multi-focal lenses are designed to provide a clear vision at different distances. They have different optical areas in the lens that allow the lens to focus light correctly on the retina, providing a clear vision, both far and near and in the intermediate distances.
 

Who can use progressive or multi-focal lenses?

Multifocal or progressive lenses are ideal for people who have difficulties in seeing objects close to them due to presbyopia, also known as "tired sight." 

If you find it difficult to read closely, see the nearby objects clearly or carry out activities that require a detailed vision at a short distance, progressive lenses can be a good option for you. When you use progressive lenses, you can see clearly at different distances without the need to change glasses or contact lenses.

It is important to note that multifocal lenses may require an adjustment period, since the brain needs to become accustomed to using different areas to see at different distances. At first, you can notice a feeling of lack of focus or difficulty in changing the approach quickly. However, over time, most people adapt and enjoy a clear and comfortable vision at all distances.
