I just got contacts today. I got the multifocal lenses, with one ADD high and the other ADD low. This is interesting. Since I have only been in them for 3 hours, I don't have much to comment on yet. I can read with them, one better then the other, and distance is good, other better then one.

It is all a trade off, unlike what the contact lens manufactures say in their advertisements.
