Multifocal Contact Lenses in Pearl City, Hawaii
See clearly at every distance — reduce your reliance on reading glasses.
If you're over 40 and finding yourself reaching for reading glasses more often, multifocal contact lenses may help reduce your reliance on reading glasses — letting you see more clearly at near, intermediate, and far distances.
What Are Multifocal Contact Lenses?
Multifocal contact lenses contain multiple prescription zones in a single lens — similar to progressive eyeglasses, but in a contact lens. They allow your eyes to see more clearly at different distances simultaneously, reducing or lessening the need for reading glasses.
Why Evaluating Multifocal Lenses Takes Experience
Multifocal contact lens evaluation is not straightforward — it requires patience, fine-tuning, and an experienced eye. The prescription balance between distance and near vision zones must be carefully calibrated for each individual. Dr. Murakami has extensive experience evaluating multifocal lenses and takes the time to get it right for each patient.
This is one of our clinical specialties at Clear Sight Hawaii — multifocal contact lens evaluations make up a significant portion of our practice.
Multifocal Lenses vs. Monovision
Monovision is an alternative approach where one eye is corrected for distance and the other for near vision. Some patients prefer this; others find multifocal lenses more natural. We will discuss both options and trial lenses so you can make an informed decision.
Am I a Candidate?
Most patients over 40 who experience presbyopia (difficulty reading up close) are candidates for multifocal contact lenses. We will evaluate your prescription, eye health, and lifestyle to determine if multifocal lenses are a good fit for you.
