Understanding your vision:

Inside your eye, there’s a small elastic lens that allows you to focus your vision on distant, near and mid-range objects. This lens works similarly to the focusing mechanism in a camera or video recorder. As we age, this lens becomes less elastic and can no longer focus throughout its original range. But don’t worry! You’re not alone. This condition is called presbyopia and virtually everyone will experience this common problem.

New Technology Gives You New Options:

Unlike traditional bifocal or reading glasses which only help you to focus on distant or near objects, LifeStyle "multifocal" contacts also give your eyes the power to focus clearly on mid-range objects, such as your computer screen or dash board. In other words, LifeStyle contacts correct your entire range of vision. In addition, LifeStyle contacts have no lines or image jump to distract you and give you full peripheral vision.

Adapting to your new multifocal lenses:

Beyond the normal adaptation to contact lenses which your eyecare professional will describe, you may experience effects that are unique to multifocal contact lenses. A small percentage of patients may experience a slight ghosting around distant or near objects or a reflection flair around bright lights at night. If you experience these effects, relax. They’ll disappear as your brain adapts to its "new way of seeing". This adaptation is similar to the way that eyeglass wearers soon ignore the frames around their eyeglass lenses.
