Acuvue Bifocal is a great alternative
to bifocal glasses. When bifocal contact lenses his the
market, it was a great relief for people who need bifocals,
but hate glasses. Some of the earlier designs, however,
were not very comfortable or didn’t do the job properly.
There are 3 types of bifocal contact lenses:
Alternating
design is an older
one and is similar to bifocal glasses. Half of the
lens has distant powers while another half is designed
for near-sight correction
Simultaneous
vision design tries to blend the powers,
and both the distance and near-sight prescription
fit within your pupil area. Your eyes adapt and learn
to interpret the correct power choice depending on
how close or far you're looking
Concentric
design – the newest and most successful
design where the middle of the lens improves your
near vision, while the outer part corrects the distant
vision.
Acuvue bifocals is an improved version of concentric
design. The manufacturer itself calls it PUPIL INTELLIGENT
DESIGN. It has not two but five invisible, concentric zones
that allow you to see clearly at various distances.
