I have lost some of my distance and now also need reading
glasses. When I use mutli focal
contacts for my distance and add low I get some of my distance back, not as much as when wearing glasses. I also get some of my near back. But when I tried the prescription contacts with add high my near vision was perfect but then my distance was worse than with the add low. Even thought they both have the same distance correction. Despite what the contact manufacture claims are, you can't have the best of both worlds.
All I want to do is be able to see clearly for distance and read a newspaper without wearing glasses. And be able to wear my non prescription
sunglasses.
