Default How the heck to bifocal contacts work?

I suspect they work like toric lenses in that they have a weight or ballast that's a little thicker than the rest of the lens and that stays on the bottom.

Either that or the magnifying (reading) part of the contact lens is heavier anyway.

I hope that helps.
