Yes!
And it's like a miracle to those of us who are getting older and loosing our ability to read the fine print.
My optometrist fitted me with Bausch & Lomb Soflens Multifocal Lenses and once he got the right prescription for both eyes - I was amazed at my distance and close vision. It only took about 10 minutes to make the adjustment to the new lenses.
Get with your eye care professional - he or she can prescribe the correct lenses for your eyes and possibly give you a trial pair to see if you like them.
Good luck!

Yes there are. And, there are tons of them! Which one is best for your eyes and your vision must be determined by you and your doctor. Each lens has it's own strength - really good near vision, really good far vision, really good intermediate (like your computer), really good health, cheap, comfortable. There are lots of things that vary. When you schedule your appointment, don't be afraid to tell your doctor what your needs are - do you spend the whole day at the computer or are you golfing all day? That stuff is important to what lens they pick for you.
Good luck - bifocal contact lenses are fun!

Bifocal contact lenses are designed to give good vision to people who have a condition called presbyopia. The key sign that you're developing presbyopia is that you need to hold reading material, like a menu or newspaper, farther from your eyes to see it clearly.
Bifocal contacts lenses have two prescriptions in the same lens.

sure-- i've got had maximum of docs attempt to tell me there is not any longer, yet it is so incorrect (i'm donning my bifocal contacts good now). they're inflexible gas-permeable lenses ("complicated contacts"), and that they are astonishing. so as to get them, your well being care expert will would desire to asses the form of your eye, and you'd be outfitted for the lenses, and given circumstances on your lenses besides as purifier and fluid (the two one in each of that are obtainable at any drugstore). There are some catches (although its truly worth it)-- the lenses are high priced (yet they final for years, with out wanting to get replaced), and that they are somewhat complicated to get used to. the 1st day, placed on them for 2 hours, the subsequent, for 3, etc, till you get to 10. After that, you would be so used to it-- you will no longer even experience them. further observe on the truly lenses: the bifocals are exciting on those-- one perscription is interior the path of the lense, and and 2nd is in a hoop around it. They off very sparkling imaginative and prescient (much extra so than delicate lenses)-- i'm able to work out the grout between bricks of a construction in the time of a 4-lane highway. permit me understand in case you have questions!
