In October I started trials of different brands of multifocals. The Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia gave me the best results out of the 3 brands I tried. About 90% clear vision, near and far

Today for the first time, I tried the Acuvue Oasys Multifocals. Same exact prescription. They most definitely feel like an upgrade to the older ones they replaced. I can see about 100% clear near, and about 95% clear, far. I will be sticking with these

I wear Biofinity single vision in right eye and Biofinity mulitifocal D in left eye. They're comfortable and vision is not bad, but I sometimes have to put on readers over the contact lenses if I'm doing extended work on the computer or reading. It definitely beats premium progressive eyeglasses. I've been wearing contact lenses since eighth grade, and it's not a vanity thing, I just prefer the wider field of vision and not having the cumbersome feel of eyeglasses on my face.

[annaangol]

I only have multi focal in one eye. I use cooper vision Biofinity. It works great.

[julilla]

These look like great products for sure. Once I needed progressive lenses, I just switched to my glasses full time, but for those who don't want to do that, I hope they find something that works for them.

Acuvue Oasys Max MF is a game changer for me. I used to wear Dailies Total 1 MF but I often got blurred vision. Oasys Max MF gives me the same comfort throughout the day, at least for 12 hours.

I changed 3 months ago to multifocal contacts (I was using single-focus contacts plus reading glasses), and I am blown away by how good they are. My vision feels 15 years younger! :-) However, it took me a while to find the right far/near power combination, so take your time. To give you an idea, my optician measured +2.50 far and +4.50 near. So I would need +2.50+2.00. However, my first lenses with that power were horrible. I could see near very well, but anything at middle distance or far was very blurry. After some trial and error, I now have +2.00+High (Baush+Lomb Ultra). The middle distance is sometimes a bit blurry, but otherwise all good. I might try +2.25+Low to see if the middle distance gets better.

However, I do find the Ultra very hard to put on. They are much more flexible than my previous single-focus (Biofinity Energys), and I am learning all over again how to put the lenses on.
But it is so worth it, I am enjoying so much having these young eyes again :-)

Hi greetings from Scotland. Due to my Astigmatism I have found Synergeyes ID MDOF lenses to be amazing. True they are expensive but due to rotation I found soft contacts(especially as my astigmatism has got worse) to be not great. I am in my early 50s.

From your video to all the comments, it's all really helpful. I also think part of the challenge is finding a provider to work with you. I just re-entered the contact lens presbyopia market and went with a big box provider, not impressed. Finding someone familiar with C.lenses & presbyopia to work with you is a challenge itself. My eyes just don't like contact lenses, but I found some great comments here too that might help!

Got my first set of contacts, my near vision is fantastic, my far is blurry. I go back for a follow up in a week. I hope my eyes adjust to them or they can correct my far vision blurriness 😢, I’m excited about not needing readers

[GardeningSpirit]

Your vids are super informative thank you!!

My experience with multifocals:

( Prescription)
Sofmed Breathables Ultimate 1Day Multifocal High ADD
-10.00 both eyes
+2.00 ADD

Just started wearing these a couple of days ago. Pretty comfortable. My near vision is good with these, but my distance vision is a bit hazy. I'm hoping that my eyes can adjust to these.

(OLD Prescription)
Bausch and Lomb ULTRA For Presbyopia High ADD
-10.00 both eyes
+2.5 ADD

Prior to my new prescription, I wore these for 2 years. Pretty comfortable. Distance vision is good, but near vision is not good with these so I still needed readers.

I must say that for the past 6 years, presbyopia has been a real challenge for me. I tried mono vision contacts, but didn't like the fact that you must give up distance or near vision in each eye. Multifocal seems to be better for me, but I've yet to find anything that allows me to have both near and distance vision that is good or acceptable in both eyes.

I can feel my eyes really trying to adjust to my new prescription brand. If my distance vision gets just slightly better while my near stays the same, I think these may be the ticket.

First day of wearing a multifocal contact lens; it will definitely take some getting used to, however, they seem very nice, and I can see now.

[prettyboy]

Silicone Hydrogel dries out my eyes surprisingly. Acuvue Moist Multifocal works best for me.

[goldeneraever]

Definitely going to be talking to NY Dr. about the Bausch and Lomb lens!

[jack]

One eye is nearsighted and the other is farsighted. I've tried multi focal in hopes of seeing far and close but it seems like it's not that clear. It;'s a little blurry in a distant and close up. Similar to not wearing anything. Maybe it's just not for me. I like regular contacts because everything in a distant is clear but I can't read anything up close. It's pretty annoying

[guriausa]

First time trying contacts a week ago I was given B&L ultra multifocal. I did NOT do well with them. Everything was blurry. Was switched to monovision this week and much happier. I also have astigmatism.

[mazz]

hi Dr. would the best option to deal with this be a hybrid contact lens or Sclera lens ?

[PilotVBall]

I am the biggest challenge to fit for contacts. Such a struggle. Ughhh. I'd pay $1, 000 bonis to any doc that can get my contacts right for once. So frustrating.

[dr.robert]

Excellent video, thank you! Is the contact Rx different for monthlies and dailies? I was given samples of the Acute Oasys Max by my doctor and I noticed they were 0.25 more each. (I see well with them, so does it matter?)

[lromses]

I tried the multifocal Daily 1 contacts and found my left eye dried out after 4 hours. I tried them only 3 times and wonder if I didnt give my eyes enough time to adjust. What is the usual adjustment period? I am going to try the Biotrue by B and L next.
