It's why my doc set me up in dailies...
At this point, my presbyopia is getting more and more pronounced, and I think my wearing of single vision Focus Dailies is very limited. I hate giving them up, but I am considering trying multifocal RGP's (particularly the SoClear macro lenses). |
Hello toddster63
I had not heard of SoClear Macro lenses, but found an interesting thread on the Net.
I suppose you could (probably did try already) protein removing tablets for your silicone hydrogel lenses, but they add extra cost and I never thought they worked very well with my yearly lenses, (when I wore these). Now that Daily Disposables are around, I can see why your Eye Care Specialist switched you to these.
I can sympathise with you re the presbyopia. I think I will be in that situation in about 1-2 years
I am using Menicon Z alpha standard RGP lenses at present.
