Recent technology has greatly improved multi-focal soft lenses. Many patients in their 40's who need progressives can now enjoy the comfort and benefits of soft contact lenses. This all-in-one contact lens benefits people with presbyopia by helping to correct age-related vision problems - when their eyes can no longer focus on objects up close. Multi-focal lenses have a gradual transition between the prescription for distance to seeing things up close. Ask your doctor if this would be a good fit for you.
