What are multifocal contact lenses?

Do any of these things apply to you?

• - I can see near objects better when I remove my contact lenses or glasses.
• - It can be hard to see what’s in front of me in dimly-lit locations.
• - My eyes quickly get tired when reading a book.
• - During eye movements between near and far objects, objects don’t come into focus immediately.
• - I misread price tags when shopping.

These symptoms can happen to anyone as they age.

As the flexibility of the crystalline lens weakens and you fall short of the accommodation ability (focusing) needed to view near objects, the following symptoms will emerge.

• - Difficult to look at near objects.
• - Easily tire when working on tasks in front of oneself for extended periods.
• - Move books and newspapers further away from the eyes when reading them.
• - Type is difficult to read in dimly-lit locations.
• - Narrow characters appear blurred.

The flexibility of the crystalline lens (the lens inside the eye) deteriorates with age, making it more difficult to focus on near objects

• When viewing near objects, the crystalline lens swells sufficiently (the black part) making it possible to achieve focus.
• As the flexibility of the crystalline lens deteriorates, there is insufficient accommodation ability, making it harder to focus on near objects.

With multifocal contact lenses, your worries will be clearly eliminated

More active. More stylish.
Adopting multifocals will open up a wider world.

• - View objects effortlessly and naturally from near to far.
• - Enjoy a more active lifestyle shopping, playing sports and pursuing other interests.
• - There is a sense of openness that is not possible with glasses.。
• - There is no sense of discomfort on the nose and ears such as when wearing glasses, and you don’t need to worry about your make-up rubbing off.
• - Enjoy your favorite pair of sunglasses and expanding fashion variations.

Basic knowledge about multifocal contact lenses – gain an immediate and in-depth understanding

The power distribution of multifocal contact lenses

At present, mainstream multifocal lenses are of the simultaneous vision type, where far sight power areas and near sight power areas are distributed in concentric circles (some lenses also include an intermediate sight power area).

Progressive power lenses are popular.

The HOYA MultiView EX and HOYA MultiView are simultaneous vision multifocal lenses. Both lenses (when corrected for near-sightedness) distribute far sight power, intermediate sight power and near sight power in concentric circles from the center to the periphery. Moreover, as well borderless Multifocal lenses for glasses, they are progressive power lenses where the power from far sight to intermediate sight and near sight changes continuously. For this reason, a wearer can achieve a natural field of vision from near to far.

For hard lenses

Therefore, since an alternate vision function is produced when lowering the line of sight when looking at near objects, this is also referred to as a hybrid-type progressive power contact lens.
Therefore, since an alternate vision function is produced when lowering the line of sight when looking at near objects, this is also referred to as a hybrid-type progressive power contact lens.

For soft lenses

As the soft lenses are designed so that sight power from near to far is distributed within the size of the pupil, a smooth field of vision can be obtained without the need to move the line of sight.
