Varifocal Contact Lenses

Life may begin at forty but so does the problem of finding small print more difficult to see at close range. We find ourselves moving things further and further away to try and focus, and then we need a separate prescription for reading, and the computer. The usual options are varifocal or vocational lenses, bifocals, or single vision reading glasses.

At Ridings Opticians, however, glasses are not your only solution! As a first time wearer or life long contact lens fan, you too can now have varifocal contact lenses. They are a continuously evolving product to which our manufacturers are devoting vast amounts of research. Technological advancements over the last ten years mean the range of lenses available has never been greater, with higher water contents and more breathable structures they are very comfortable to wear – you’ll forget you even have them in!

They are perfect for an active lifestyle as they don’t steam up or slip down like glasses, and you can look in any direction and see clearly at all distances. Many are also available with full UV blockers, to safeguard your eyes in all light conditions.

The newest lenses are easy to handle, and available in different formats, such as Daily Disposable, weekly or monthly continuous wear, two weekly or monthly daily wear. At Ridings Opticians we can discuss your needs and your lifestyle to find the perfect lens for you – so you really can stop worrying about where your reading glasses are!
