Frequency 55 Multifocal Contact Lenses Relieve Presbyopia

Frequency 55 Multifocal contact lenses by Coopervision can help reduce or eliminate some of the vision problems that occur in people who have reached their 40s. Many people in that age bracket first notice signs of blurred vision, even those who have never had a vision problem before. This condition is called presbyopia and as many as 90 million people in the United States may have signs of this disorder.

Presbyopia is an age-related difficulty. It is believed to be a gradual loss of flexibility in the natural lens inside the eye. It is not nearsightedness or farsightedness, though the symptoms are similar. Many first notice eye problems by trying to focus on a book or newspaper, moving it further away. This is a very treatable condition, often with bifocal eyeglasses. However, many do not wish to wear eyeglasses and choose contact lenses. Coopervision's multifocal contacts are right for those wishing to not wear glasses.

Frequency 55 lenses use a unique system of eye care to relieve the signs of presbyopia. Each eye uses a lens that is different in strength and focal ability but work together to provide clear vision both near and far away. The D lens serves the dominant eye and the N lens works for the non-dominant eye. This balanced approach allows the eyes to function normally and the lenses aid more than actually correct vision problems. These lenses are 55% water based and provide excellent comfort and are easy to handle. An advanced design is available to help those with night driving difficulties.
