Multifocal Contact Lenses - Dempster Eye Center

Multifocal contact lenses are designed to provide clear vision at all distances — near, intermediate, and far. They work by combining multiple prescriptions into a single lens, allowing your eyes to smoothly transition between different focal points. This makes them an excellent choice for individuals with presbyopia, a common age-related condition where the eyes lose the ability to focus on close objects.

At Dempster Eye Center in Morton Grove, IL, we specialize in fitting multifocal contact lenses to suit your specific needs. Our expert optometrists will assess your vision and recommend the best lens design for optimal comfort and clarity. Whether you're reading a book or driving, multifocal lenses offer a seamless vision experience without the need for reading glasses.
