For those of you who wear PureVision Multi-Focals, can you tell me how you like them compared to bifocal contacts?

I never went with bifocal contacts because they have to sit in your eye a certain way, well i thought that would be impossible so when i heard about these multifocals not having that quirkiness...well it was a no brainer and it does work.

Hi pmc524. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. It looks like you've answered quite a few questions here.

So you've no inclination to try bifocals?

I'm not sure how bifocals work, but there are contact lenses called "torics" that actually have one part of the lens that's a little thicker than the rest and that part always is in the "six o-clock" position. Bifocals probably have something like that, too.

I've used toric lense in one eye with distance in the other it is also a good alternative cost wise but i personally find the multifocals a "notch" better some may say it's marginal but the comfort factor is what i went with here.

Thanks again for your time, pmc524. I appreciate you taking the time to explain your preference for multifocal contact lenses.
