Multifarious multifocals

Perhaps it's my age or perhaps it is contact lens technology but there is an awful lot of activity in the multifocal contact lens area at the moment.

The idea of multifocal contact lenses is nothing news and most of the big providers have had a go at cracking the market. Today's emerging presbyopes became wearers in the 1980s and 1990s just as daily disposables became an affordable reality and more comfortable and breathable materials became available.

The very same people are the kind of wearers who would crawl over hot coals to keep their lenses in. The lenses just need to provide the necessary vision and comfort. The latest clutch of lenses do just that. CooperVision's Biofinity  really made people sit up and take notice and receieved rave reviews, that was followed up by the daily option Proclear 1-Day which took a modified monovision route.
