Trying contacts....again...

[Marilyn]

Okay, I'm near sighted and far sighted, so must wear bifocals. I so want to wear contacts. The no line bifocals I have are nice, but they hurt my nose, and I just don't like my world framed by glasses. Mine are rimless at the bottom, but still. I've tried multifocals before and they could never find a pair that worked for both distance and closeup vision. Well, I'm trying again. This past week I wore a pair that worked well at 3 to 4 feet, but closeup and distance were bad. Distance was so bad the I thought there were two highway patrol cars parked in a crossover when there was only one.

This evening, I got another pair to try, and so far, my distance is somewhat better, but not clear, and my closeup is so bad, I can barely read this post.

Have any of you successfully worn multifocal contacts?

I have tried a setup with one eye for closeup and one for distance and that just didn't work at all. So frustrating.

I did order new lenses for my glasses with my new prescription, just in case, but would like to hear your experiences.
