Aging is an inevitable aspect of life, and presbyopia — a condition that generally starts affecting individuals around the age of 40 — is a common vision ailment that comes along with it. 

This condition makes it difficult to clearly see close objects or small prints, such as during reading, sewing, or computer work. This can be frustrating, especially for those enjoying perfect vision throughout their younger years. However, the evolution of vision technology now offers a seamless solution to combat this issue. 

At Merivale Vision Care, we're excited to provide our clients with Alcon Multifocal Contact Lenses, a premier solution for managing presbyopia while allowing clear vision across all distances.

Understanding Presbyopia

Presbyopia is a natural change in the eye's lens elasticity that occurs as we age. As the lens becomes less flexible, it becomes challenging to focus on close objects. 

Many first notice it when they start holding books or menus farther away to read them. Instead of switching between multiple corrective glasses or resigning yourself to less-than-perfect vision, multifocal contact lenses are designed to give you back your all-range vision in one simple solution.

Why Alcon Multifocal Contact Lenses Are a Preferred Choice

Alcon Multifocal contact lenses are crafted with both comfort and performance in mind. They incorporate Alcon's Precision Profile Design, which ensures you can effortlessly switch between viewing distances—from looking at the dashboard to enjoying the scenic view on a drive or from focusing on a computer screen to gazing into the distance.

Here are compelling reasons why they are so popular among our patients at Merivale Vision Care:

  • Versatile Visual Clarity: With Alcon Multifocal Contact Lenses, your vision can adapt seamlessly from reading the fine print in books to recognizing street signs while driving. This lens design eliminates the hassle of carrying multiple glasses for different tasks.
  • Advanced Lens Material: These lenses are made with silicone hydrogel, a material known for allowing high levels of oxygen permeability. This material doesn't just keep your eyes comfortable; it also keeps them healthy by letting them "breathe" better.
  • Customizable Prescription Options: Everyone's eyes are unique, and so are their vision correction needs. Alcon Multifocal Contact Lenses come in a variety of prescription strengths. This wide range ensures we can perfectly match the lenses to your visual requirements, offering the best possible correction for your presbyopia.

Professional Fitting Services at Merivale Vision Care

Choosing the right contact lenses involves precise evaluation and professional fitting, especially with multifocal options. Our eye care experts at Merivale Vision Care are equipped to provide detailed assessments that consider your prescription and your eye shape, lifestyle needs, and comfort preferences. 

Our comprehensive eye exams ensure that we identify the most suitable type of contact lens for you, thus maximizing vision clarity and long-term comfort.
