title: Bifocal contact lenses today.
abstract: Bifocal contact lenses produced today are far from perfection; however, there are several different types produced, one of which should work out for most presbyopic patients who can be successfully fit with single vision contact lenses. This paper looks at the products we have available now. It is not designed to be a cookbook that the optometric practitioner can follow from A to Z and come up with the ideal contact lens bifocal fit. It is pointed at making the optometrist aware of the growing population of contact lens wearers that the health professions are now creating, and a resume of the products and fitting techniques now available to the eye care field.
