I'm unfortunately not a candidate for multifocal intraocular lenses due to other problems with my eyes, otherwise I would have gone with them for the first surgery.
replyMultifocal contacts are probably not a good long-term fit for those same reasons, and there's the same problem with progressive lenses in glasses. Old-school bifocals are okay, but limited in the usual way.
Perhaps you could try monovision in glasses instead of multifocal?
replyI have monovision contacts and they work pretty well for me, though mid-tier (e.g. desk computer) work requires special glasses.
