Several options are available. Bifocal contact lenses such as J&J disposable bifocals or Hydron Echelon bifocal contact lenses are available. Alternatively your practitioner may decide on monovision, whereby one eye is fitted with a distance lens and the other eye with a reading lens. This has a success rate of 70-80%. The final alternative is to wear a pair of distance contact lenses with reading glasses over the top.
