What Are Bifocal and Multifocal Lenses?
Bifocal and multifocal lenses help correct presbyopia, a condition that makes it difficult to focus on nearby objects. These lenses incorporate near and distance prescriptions and, in the case of multifocal lenses, an intermediate zone as well. Whether you prefer contact lenses or eyeglasses, we offer a range of solutions to suit your lifestyle.
Differences Between Bifocal and Multifocal Lenses
Here’s a quick look at the differences between these two types of lenses:
Bifocal Lenses: Bifocal lenses have two distinct sections—one for distance vision and one for near vision. These lenses are a great option for those with simple presbyopia who need help to see far away and up close.
Multifocal Lenses: Multifocal lenses offer multiple zones for near--, intermediate--, and distance vision. They provide a more seamless transition between different distances, making them ideal for patients needing a more gradual progression in vision correction.

Why Choose Bifocal Lenses?
Bifocal lenses feature two distinct vision zones—one for distance vision and one for near vision. They are an excellent choice for patients who struggle to read or perform tasks up close while still maintaining clear distance vision. With bifocal lenses, you can enjoy the simplicity of one pair of glasses or contact lenses that work for near and far vision needs.
The Benefits of Multifocal Lenses
Multifocal lenses take vision correction a step further by providing a smooth transition between near, intermediate, and distance vision. This makes them ideal for patients who need to focus on objects at varying distances throughout the day. Multifocal lenses eliminate the need for constant adjustments or switching between glasses, allowing for a more natural and seamless visual experience.
Caring for Your Bifocal and Multifocal Lenses
To keep your lenses in optimal condition, it’s important to follow the care instructions provided by our optometrists. These include:
Proper Lens Care: We’ll show you how to insert, remove, and clean your contact lenses to ensure maximum comfort and clarity.
Adhering to Replacement Schedules: Follow the recommended replacement schedule for your contact lenses—daily, bi-weekly, or monthly—to prevent discomfort or infection.
