Bifocal contact lenses and multifocal contact lenses come in both soft hydrogel and rigid gas permeable types.
Bifocal contacts lenses have two prescriptions in the same lens, whereas multifocal contact lenses have a range of powers in each lens. Bifocal contact lenses and multifocal contact lenses work in couple of different ways, depending on the design of the lens.
"Alternating vision" lenses are so named because your pupil alternates between the two powers, as your gaze shifts upwards or downwards.
Simultaneous vision lenses require your eye to be looking through both distance and near powers at the same time. Although this sounds odd your eye learns to select the correct power depending on how close or far you're trying to see.
For clear vision at all distances without the need for reading glasses choose Acuvue Bifocal contact lenses. 6 lenses per box.
