PureVision Multifocal - Overview

PureVision Multifocal - Overview

More than 50% of all presbyopic people are not aware that multifocal contact lenses are an option to correct their vision problem.

PureVision Multifocal are the #1 multifocal silicone hydrogel lens worldwide.  As all the other PureVision lenses, PureVision Multifocal feature the patented AerGel material, which supports less protein build-up during the day, so your eyes stay longer white and healthy.

Features and Benefits of PureVision Multifocal Contact Lenses

• Based on a daily wear plan, PureVision Multifocal can be worn up to 30 days with an extended wearing schedule of up to 7 days.

• For clearer and sharper vision, PureVision Multifocal uses a special optical design to reduce aberration – as a result objects appear less blurry and much sharper. 

• The new AerGel material allows higher levels of oxygen to reach your eyes, so your eyes stay longer white - even at the end of a long day.

• An inside-out indicator (B&L) and the visibility tint support easier handling.

Who should wear PureVision Multifocal?

• Excellent distance performance combined with easy adaptation without the visual trade-offs of monovision make them an ideal candidate for people with presbyopia.

• People who want to wear contact lenses everyday and even overnight (as recommended by their eye care practitioner).
