RE: Multifocal Contact Lenses
I wanted to bump this thread as I committed to report on how I was doing with these lenses when I went to my doctor and so others may "see" the experience!
![]() First, A big thanks to both David and John......... David for "enlightening" the membership and John for his professional information and personal encouragement to me about trying them! Well, I got to the docs and asked about the product, my left eye is a good candidate, my right eye (dominant ) was borderline as my astigmatism over the last 20 years since I had the Lasik done was "borderline". However, my doc is a "pal" so he said, lets "give er a go Joe" and see what you can see! ![]() So in they go, after about 20 years of not wearing soft lenses and I can truthfully say MY OH MY has the technology changed in 20 years! Extra thin, extremely comfortable in all kinds of environments............ and the best part I can see at ALL THREE distances!!!!! ![]() Now the overall vision, as John stated, is a "compromise", but I truly enjoy each distance so I am good with it. My doc, being a pal, gave me two sets to try, both set to the same distance correction but one set has a "higher" close up correction and will compromise the distance more. he said try them both, come back, and we'll hook you up with the prescription you like best! ![]() Lastly, the "brain training" John spoke of earlier. I can truthfully say I actually enjoyed that part of it the BEST! I love trying new things and exercising the old noggin in different venues, even before these lenses. I'd do things / tasks, with different hands like brushing your teeth with a different hand every day, etc just to keep training it and keep it from getting old and lazy , so the lenses deal was so much fun!!!!!!!! I believe the old noggin is about trained ALMOST after 3 days but what a 3 day trip it was......the eyes would slip in and out of "mono vision" at will and switch "roles" at will, I was like "WOW MAN........ have I been hangin with Cheech and Chong"! ![]() ![]() So there you have it, my personal experience with them.......... and it was a success even with one eye with borderline astigmatism....... and before I forget, the Air Optix multi focals , as John previously stated, are 30 day throw aways approved for 30 days of daily wear or 7 days, 6 nights with 1 day of rest each week for the month.........you and your doctor will decide what is best for you! I had a devil of time digging that info out of the website so I figured I'd just put it here to reinforce John's earlier comments and save people some time.
