Even if you are a bifocal wearer, it is
possible to use contact lenses, and put away
the heavy glasses forever
It is a common misconception
that contact lenses are only for those
people with minor eye problems - either
slight near or far-sightedness. In fact,
bifocal contact lenses have been available
for quite some time. If you have been
suffering the irritation of wearing heavy
bifocal glasses, you should consider bifocal
contacts as a viable - and more comfortable
- alternative to 'coke-bottle' glasses.
Contact lenses have come
quite a long way since they were first
introduced. Even if you suffer from a very
unique eye problem, you can now find contact
lenses that will correct your vision. Thanks
to always-improving contact lens technology,
eyeglass wearers who once were stuck with
glasses because of sensitive eyes or unusual
vision problems are now able to enjoy all
the convenience and comfort of bifocal
contacts.
All contacts, including
bifocal contact lenses, allow you to have
corrected eyesight without the irritating
gap in your peripheral vision. If you've
never worn contacts, this may not seem like
a source of irritation, but believe me -
once you have experienced corrected vision
without the gap between your glasses and
your face, you'll never change back.
Of course, bifocal contact
lenses allow you to see things both distant
and nearby clearly, just like bifocal
glasses. In fact, they do it better than
typical bifocal glasses, as there is no line
across the center of the lenses, and no
disorienting adjustment for your eyes to
make as you change your focus between near
and far.
Contacts in general tend to
be slightly more expensive than traditional
glasses, especially if you follow the
recommended disposal schedule. Most people
stretch the life of each pair of contact
lenses, although those with sensitive eyes
will want to avoid this. And, although
contacts may be slightly more expensive, the
incredible convenience makes them more than
worth it. Of course, if you ever break a
pair of glasses, you'll need to buy a new
pair - and bifocals certainly aren't cheap!
Breakage is not something you'll need to
worry about with contacts - making them even
more attractive for the clumsy and forgetful
among us.
Your eye doctor can answer
any questions you may have concerning
bifocal contacts. Whether you are a
first-time contact lens user, or your
contact prescription is changing as you age
and you now require bifocals, you'll find
that bifocal lenses are just as convenient
and easy to grow accustomed to as standard
corrective contact lenses. Even for
sensitive eyes, soft contacts are
comfortable and safe.
Of course, switching to
contacts doesn't mean you'll need to throw
your bifocals away. You can always try
bifocal contacts, and switch back to glasses
if you can't get accustomed to contact
lenses. Many people choose to own both, and
this way there is always a choice of which
to wear. If you do decide to keep your old
bifocal glasses, you can be certain of one
thing - after you've grown accustomed to the
convenience of contacts, your glasses won't
be seeing much use.
