presbyopia contacts
    #28203238 - 02/24/23 08:44 PM (10 months, 27 days ago)

I am turning 50 and I am struggling with my vision.
I got an eye exam and I only struggle with seeing close up. And it is called old eyes= presbyopia. I was just wearing readers. I bought the prescription glasses, but I only need them for close up.
I HATE THEM. I hate wearing glasses.
Has anyone tried contacts? My Dr said I could but most don't like it for only close up. Bifocal/multifocal contacts.
Any experience.
Glasses are making me crazy

I tried multifocal contacts for about a year because I hate glasses too. The contacts worked okay. In brighter light they were pretty good. In dimmer light I would still have problems with small print and close up stuff. Glasses are much better in dimmer light, at least for me anyway.

I went back to just using glasses. They still suck, but the contacts didn't benefit me enough to justify the expense. Multifocal contacts are hella expensive. Sam's Club usually had the best price. I did find a better price at a place that only sells to veterans so that might be an option if you served in the military (assuming you're in the U.S.).

It wouldn't hurt to try them. They might work better for you than they did for me.

I am resistant because of the price of contacts but I despise glasses
