People who wear these lens types need a corrective prescription for both reading and distance. There are a number of contact lens options avaialble. 1. Progressive contact lens designs are available. 2. Simply wear your distance prescription in contact lenses and then put a reading pair of spectacles over the top of your distance contact lenses when you need to see close up. 3. Mono vision, is a popular choice this system involves one eye wearing your distance vision contact lens and the other eye wearing your near vision contact lens.
