Contact lenses have made tremendous advances in the last several years! Both soft and oxygen permeable designs are now available for the correction of nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Now we can help people who have been told previously that they could not wear contact lenses. Today contact lenses are manufactured in virtually all prescriptions.
 It has never been easier to change your look! Today's contact lenses offer such a wide variety of colors and designs that you could literally change your look from day to day. With so many choices, how do you know which contact lenses are right for you? Let the professionals at Ophthalmology Associates of the Valley guide you to healthy clear vision.
Call us at (818) 907-1050 to schedule your appointment with our optometrist in Encino and West Hills for a contact lens consultation today. You'll be glad you did.
Bifocal and multifocal lenses help patients focus on both nearby and distant objects without having to switch glasses or contact lenses. This is possible because more than one prescription is combined in a single lens. Bifocals contain two prescriptions (distance-viewing at the top of the lens and near-viewing at the bottom) with a sharp separation in the middle. Multifocal lenses go one step further: they blend near, middle and distance prescriptions smoothly. This means that you don’t have to deal with a “jump” in vision when glancing from a nearby object to one further away. It also means no one can tell you’re wearing special glasses; the lenses don’t have that rectangular, segmented look of bifocals. Multifocal lenses take some time to get used to, but once you do, you’ll never want to go back to regular reading and distance glasses again.
