Astigmatism bifocal contact lenses - Astigmatism correction as well as multi focal design for presbyopia correction

Current technology has made astigmatism bifocal contact lenses, available for people who need bifocal lenses, for presbyopia correction as well as astigmatic correction for astigmatism. Soft toric and gas permeable contact lenses that correct for astigmatism are now available in multifocal contact lens designs.

Astigmatic correction requires the contact lens to remain in one position on the eye. Therefore, astigmatism bifocal contact lenses are held in place with either a ballast system, where the bottom of the lens is thicker, or a design where the top and bottom of the lens are thinner than either side.

Soft vs Gas Permeable Bifocal and Astigmatism Contacts

The 2 types of soft contacts that correct for both Presbyopia and Astigmatism are both custom made, are very expensive and often do not work well. The Gas Permeable lens for both Presbyopia and Astigmatism, on the other hand, have been reported to work quite well.

Bifocal contacts (or multifocal contacts) are designed to give good vision to people with presbyopia. Presbyopia is the common condition where you need one prescription for distance vision and another for close up vision (such as for reading materials). This condition happens to many of us as we get older, often around the age of 40.

Other bifocal contacts and contact lens designs for the correction of presbyopia include:

Concentric design bifocal contacts

Simultaneous vision contacts and

Monovision
