Bifocal contact lenses correct for both near and distance vision. 

If you dislike wearing reading glasses or bifocal glasses, bifocal contact lenses might be a good option for fixing your vision. Bifocal contact lenses fix a condition known as presbyopia. Holding reading material at arm’s length, in order to read it, is one of the major symptoms of this condition. 

You will need a special prescription for bifocal contact lenses. They take a bit to get used to and it usually takes some time for users to become accustomed to them. Before complete adaptation takes place, users might have hazy vision and see shadows and glare in places with dim lighting. However, most lens wearers become accustomed to their lenses within six weeks. 

Bifocal contact lenses have two powers on one lens. One corrects for problems in distance vision, and the other for shortcomings in near vision. Some contacts have the near vision at the bottom of the lens and the distance vision at the top of the lens. Other lenses have the different powers blended together at specific parts of the lens. These are called progressive contacts. 

Bifocal contact lenses can come in both soft and rigid gas permeable varieties. Disposable lenses of this type became readily available in the late 1990s. 

Bifocal contact lenses can help you attain quality vision.
