Hello Life
There is nothing mysterious about wearing contact lenses. It simply changed the way I see and the way I look.
I had no idea multi-focal contacts would work that well and first was very skeptical. I was convinced after my first set of trial lenses.

Our Eyes and Eyesight
Our eyes are one of the most complex organs of our body. They rely on three different layers and more than two million components to make our eyesight possible. The first layer - and also the outermost layer - contains the cornea and the sclera. The sclera is a thin, fibrous yet tough structure that acts as a shield, protecting your eye's more fragile components within. Together with the cornea, the transparent front surface of the eye, it protects your eyes from bacteria, dirt and other harmful particles.
Common Refractive Errors and Vision Correction
There are many aspects to consider when searching for a pair of glasses or getting contact lenses that perfectly fit your needs. But why do you need them in the first place?
Everyone’s eyes are different and contain their own genetic and anatomical information that will determine their quality of vision.

The Best Daily Contact Lenses in 2022
Over the last few years, daily replaceable contact lenses have continuously increased their share in a fast-growing contact lens market. And 2022 isn't much different than 2021 as manufacturers such as Alcon and Bausch + Lomb will introduce several new daily disposable contact lenses. This isn't a surprise, as the advantages of wearing daily contact lenses are quite obvious. They don't require any cleaning routine as you just discard them at the end of the day. You can always carry a few extra boxes with you when you are on-the-go or while traveling. You don't have to worry about the handling as you just put them in once and start with a fresh pair every day. And with a fresh pair you reduce the risk of an eye infection.
ACUVUE OASYS MULTIFOCAL vs ACUVUE OASYS for PRESBYOPIA

So, is this the same lens as the ACUVUE OASYS for Presbyopia - a product that has been around since 2009? It's easy to get confused with two ACUVUE OASYS products that are both bi-weekly replaceable lenses and are both addressing a similar need: Helping patients that need vision correction for a condition (which is often age-related) called presbyopia.

ARE CONTACTS RIGHT FOR ME?
Almost everyone can wear contact lenses. There are lenses that help compensate for poor eyesight. There are lenses to change or enhance the color of your eyes. There are lenses for age-related vision correction, a condition called presbyopia. And there are lenses for people with astigmatism, a common imperfection in the curvature of the cornea.
Just last week a good friend told me, that the cost of wearing contact lenses can be really high.
I am 48 and need reading glasses to read a menu in a restaurant. There are no contacts for my age group.
