Default Acuvue Bifocal Upside Down

Normally, Acuvue Bifocal contacts help people to see what's close to them with the help of a specially-shape contact lens while the upper part is clear.

Can you get bifocal contacts that are clear on the bottom while the upper part is made to help see things far away?

I don't know about the "clear on the bottom while the upper part is made to help see things far away" part, but if you to somehow put your Acuvue bifocal contact lenses in upside down, I would think that the upper (reading) part would be like looking through a magnifying glass, right? Or trying to drive with reading glasses on?
I don't think that would work.

Yeah, that would be confusing to the wearer of the lenses, you might have to turn it right side up.

Thank you for your replies.

I'm not talking about taking Acuvue Bifocals and inserting them upside down. If they're like toric lenses the bottom part of the lens is thicker and prevents this sort of thing from happening.

I was just wondering if there was a such thing as bifocals that are used to see things far away instead of close up. These would have the corrective part on top instead of on the bottom as in conventional bifocals.
