Progressive contact lenses

 If you are one of the millions of people that suffer from near or far vision, there is an answer to glasses.  They are progressive contact lenses.  They are able to provide clear at all distances including near, far and in between.  The viewing areas gradually blend into each other making them attractive and comfortable.  Progressive contact lenses can help if you have astigmatism.

Now you can buy a hard or soft lens but which is better for multifocal?  Many professionals will like suggest hard or gas permeable because they tend to keep their shape better than soft lens when you blink.  Hard progressive contact lenses are more stable on the eye and the vision segments will remain in the right place.

Another great advantage of a gas permeable lens is that it won’t dry your eyes out like soft lens because they don’t contain water and they won’t absorb moisture from your own eyes.  Hard progressive contact lenses also won’t collect protein build up which often makes them feel scratchy and uncomfortable.  So if you have sensitive eyes, we highly recommend a hard lens.
