Multifocal lenses have power for near, intermediate and distance vision, allowing you to see at almost any distance. The lenses work by changing power from the top of the lens through the bottom.
Do you struggle to see in the distance and up close? Have you been considering trying multifocals? Take our quiz to find out whether multifocals are right for you!
But first, here are our top tips for new multifocal wearers.
Quick Tip 1: The Smallest Adjustment To A Frame Can Make A Significant Difference To Your Vision
If things are not quite as good as you had expected, speak to your optometrist. It might be as simple as adjusting your frame to achieve the perfect fit.
Quick Tip 2: It's Not Unusual For Things To Feel A Little Strange When You Try Your New Multifocal Lenses For The Very First Time
