I have been wearing bifocal contact lenses for many years now. I wear Accuvue lenses. I love them. I couldn't stand the idea of wearing contacts and then having to wear glasses on top of them to read. The bifocal contact lenses use concentric circles and your brain automatically adjusts your vision. They work for most people. Your eye doctor may also try monovision where one eye is fitted for far vision and the other for near. I tried that and it gave me a headache but it does work for some people.

With the bifocal lenses, I find that I have to give up a slight bit of clarity for far vision and for near vision. For distance, it is so slight, I don't notice it. Very rarely, in some very dim settings I may need reading glasses to completely read a menu. This only happens once every couple of months.

The bifocal disposable lenses are more expensive , but all and all I find that it is so worth it. Good luck.
