How to select parameters?
Power (PWR/SPH)
Power or sphere refers to the refractive power of the contact lens. Look for a plus (+) or minus (-) sign. Note that an equals sign (=) may be used in place of a minus sign.
- dioptres are for problems with near vision (far-sightedness)
+ dioptres are for problems with distance vision (near-sightedness)
Curvature (BC)
The base curve describes the curvature of the contact lens surface, i.e. how well the lens fits the shape of your eye.
Diameter (DIA)
The diameter is the width of the contact lens (measured in millimeters). It is not recommended to select a new diameter size without first consulting your optician. Diameter impacts the fit, comfort and functionality of your lenses.
Cylinder (CYL)
The cylinder measurement is used for the correction of astigmatism. It is a negative value that corrects curvature of the cornea.
Cylinder Axis (AX)
The cylinder axis measurement is used for the correction of astigmatism. The value ranges from 0° - 180° and determines the exact position of corneal curvature.
Addition (ADD)
Addition is the difference between the dioptric value for distance vision and the dioptric value for near vision. It indicates the magnifying power in multifocal lenses.

What are the advantages of multifocal contact lenses?
Multifocal contact lenses provide clear vision and at all distances, including near, intermediate, and far without the need for extra reading glasses. Additionally, they ensure smooth visual transitioning between each distance for a better visual experience.
Many people enjoy multifocal lenses for their visual benefits for presbyopia. They may also enjoy them for their convenience, particularly for active lifestyles. They are also a great option for those who simply prefer not to wear glasses. What are the disadvantages of multifocal contact lenses?
Because of the new and unique viewing experience, it may take time for your eyes to adjust to multifocal contact lenses. Some people may experience some blurred vision or glare at night during this adaptation period, but don’t let this discourage you. Your eyes should get used to the new lenses. It’s also worth noting that multifocal lenses can be more costly than traditional lenses because of the complexity of the design.

Air Optix Plus Hydraglyde Multifocal (3-pack) have three lenses in each package. Air Optix Plus Hydraglyde Multifocal (6-pack) have six lenses in each box.
The difference lies in how long each box lasts. If one lens from the box is used every 30 days, Air Optix Plus Hydraglyde Multifocal (3 lenses) lasts up to three months and Air Optix Plus Hydraglyde Multifocal (6 lenses) lasts up to six months. An Air Optix Plus Hydraglyde 3-pack offers flexibility and a lower upfront cost.

Can you wear these for the whole month without taking out? Please, it’s not so clear, some say monthly but still require to take them out at night
-
ReplyHello,
Thank you for your comment.
No, those lenses are not suitable for continuous wear.
They have to be taken out every evening and have to be put in solution, so they can be cleaned. You can put the lens afterwards, on the next morning.
Kind Regards.

I have one eye more dominant, can you accommodate this with vairyfocals ?
-
Reply
Hello Gil, Thank your comment. Multifocal lenses correct presbyopia. With the help of multifocal lenses or eyeglasses, the dominant eye is perfectly corrected for distance, while the non-dominant eye is corrected for near vision. We would suggest that you consult an optician in order to discuss wether multifocal lenses will be the right solution for you. Kind Regards.

on my lens box that I normally purchase from my optician it states (MAX ADD + 2.50) on both left and right lens - do I request this also
-
Reply
Hello Lynn,
Thank you for your inquiry.
Please double-check the parameters on the box, the addition should be marked
as ADD and should be located where the dioptres are mentioned.
If, in fact, you need an addition of +2,50, you have to select High when
choosing the lenses (if you are planning to purchase this brand), because as
advised by the manufacturer High corresponds to +2.25 and +2.50.
Kind Regards.
