I’m 46, and starting to struggle a bit with my close vision. I had a lens check earlier this week - have worn contact lenses for distance since my teens - and have come away with trials of multifocal and monovision lenses. I wondered if anyone had experience of either? Previously I was wearing -4 and -4.25, and have been given multifocal lenses of -4.75 (with a close reading addition), and monovision lenses of -3.25 and -4.75.
I tried the multifocal lenses after work today, and my vision was great - but I felt weird, headachey and slightly nauseous. That might have been because I switched from my usual lenses, and also possibly because I’m just getting over tonsillitis and a rotten cold, so my eyes were tired and dry anyway. Both types of lenses are the same brand as I’ve worn for years - Clariti silicon hydrogel dailies.
It would be really helpful to hear other people’s experience of either/both. (I did search but the previous threads are quite old, and I think the multifocal lenses have become more sophisticated since.)
