Contact Lenses (Multi-Focal)
Nov. 5th, 2008 08:51 amThis is some information mostly for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sahlah , but there might be others who find it helpful.
I haven't worn contacts in years because, to wear them, meant I had reading glasses on almost 24/7. Recently I had an eye exam for a new pair of glasses and my doc insisted that I give multifocal lenses a try. After a 2 week trial - I decided to buy a years supply. They are a little pricey, but for me worth it.
My contact lenses are called FREQUENCY 55 MULTIFOCAL by Coopervision.
They don't correct for reading 100%. Super small print, dim lighting, and colored backgrounds are still a problem. They do correct enough so I can wear contacts again without havig to put on reading glasses EVERY TIME I have to read anything. I carry a magnifying glass in my backpack for the few times there is something I just can't make out (or I make a friend by asking someone to read it for me) :-)
