What is presbyopia?

You’re probably wondering, presby-what? It’s a complicated name for a very common eye condition: when you have trouble focusing on things up close.

It usually happens around age 40 and it’s the single most common reason people start to wear glasses or contact lenses at this age.

Presbyopia occurs as the lens inside the eye starts to lose its flexibility, which diminishes the lens’ ability to change shape and focus light passing through the eye. This is where Multifocal comes in.

How do TOTAL1TM multifocal contact lenses work?

 

Unlike multifocal glasses that require you to look through the bottom part of the lens to read up close, TOTAL1TM multifocal contact lenses blend multiple prescriptions in one lens to allow your eyes to focus on objects at all distances. This Precision Profile DesignTM combines a bi-aspheric surface, an adaptive minus power profile, and a centre-near design. This innovative technology allows these lenses to deliver uninterrupted transitions from near to intermediate to distance vision.

This is sometimes also referred to as “simultaneous vision” because your brain learns to automatically select the right focus for what you want to see, so you can seamlessly see both near and far vision at the same time.
