touch Lens Options For Baby Boomers - Bifocal Soft touch Lenses For Eyes Turning 40

If you are like the typical palpate lens wearer and have recently reached the grand old age of 40, you may find yourself retention that book a wee farther away from you to clear up the letters. At some point your arms absolutely become just a wee too short to read the morning paper, and the phone book that keeps shrinking the text size, well you know the problem.

[b]Lens[/b]

In the past, most palpate lens wearers naturally switched back to glasses at this stage of their life. Those of us who are known as the baby boomers are not accepting discontinuing palpate lens wear when the eye starts losing it's quality to accommodate, or change focus in the middle of distance and near vision. Though the cause is still being argued, many eye doctors believe the continued growth of the lens in the eye, hardening of the lens tissue over time, and a small displacement of the lens send all lead to the loss of focusing quality for close vision that degrades in the middle of the ages of 40 and 60.

In our Northern Colorado palpate lens practice, over time we have evolved what seems to work best for most palpate lens wearers facing this change in life. For some habitancy it is very traumatic, being the first palpate and awareness they have of the aging of their body.

The old options were threefold:

1. Stop wearing palpate lenses and go back to glasses
2. Keep wearing palpate lenses for distance vision and wear reading glasses over the palpate lenses when you need to work at near
3. Wear a palpate lens on one eye for distance and a palpate lens on the other eye for reading

While these methods worked for some habitancy very well, they left much to be desired. Inevitably bifocal palpate lenses were destined to be advanced and they were. Soft bifocal palpate lenses are made some dissimilar ways but they all share in coarse some form of simultaneous viewing of distance and near vision. This presents the brain with somewhat of a dilemma in learning which image to attend to. When I say image it is a wee misleading. We are ordinarily not referring to duplicate vision but funny feelings and ghost like rings or altered depth perception appearances up close. The brain can ordinarily adapt to this given adequate time, and learn to filter out the optic abnormalities.

The types of designs we work with include:

1. Annular lenses with a small central zone 2-3 millimeters in diameter, to fit in line with the black pupil area. A secondary area surrounds this to the edge of the lens. The lenses ordinarily come in a distance version where the small central zone in front of the pupil has your distance designate for maximum distance clarity. Surrounding this is the near zone for reading which has a small overlap over the edges of the pupil.
2. The reverse build is ordinarily made for the same lens with the near vision revising being a small central zone in front of the pupil for maximum reading, surrounded by a distance designate that extends to the edge of the lens.
3. Some soft palpate lenses accomplish a similar result by gently changing the designate from the town to the lens edge.
4. Lastly, one palpate lens firm utilizes a dissimilar type of optics and has manifold surrounding rings alternating distance and near focal distances resembling a bulls eye target.

So what have our years of palpate taught us?

• Patients who expect perfect vision are rarely happy with soft bifocal palpate lenses.
• People who have clear goals in their minds of the specific tasks that are foremost to them for finding well with palpate lenses tend to do very well.
• Patients who set their expectations on being able to function about 3/4 of the time with palpate lenses and expect to need some form of glasses occasionally over the contacts to read extra fine print or drive straight through a mountain blizzard at midnight do very well.
• It takes a while to adapt and ordinarily a few adjustments of the designate to reach the best revising we can achieve.
• A uncostly goal is to see 20/20 distance vision in your dominant eye and 20/40 distance vision in your eye that is not dominant. That ordinarily allows adequate overlap for adequate near vision without too much divergence in the middle of the eyes.
• The distance town eye ordinarily ends up with a lower bifocal power than the near town eye.

Some palpate lens fellowships are adapting this doctrine and utilizing overlap in the middle of the two lenses in the intermediate ranges of 3 to 7 feet. This a very dissimilar doctrine than trying to fit a true distance and near bifocal lens on both eyes but it seems to be what works best today.

Then there are habitancy with very specific tasks. I have some patients who only wear palpate lenses for skiing and don't need perfect distance vision or perfect near vision, just adequate to see where they are going. palpate lenses forestall the problem of eye glasses fogging under goggles. In this case under correcting both eyes a wee works wonders. Or some habitancy just want lenses for distance for a night out on the town, maybe with one lens designed to allow reading a normal sized menu. The options are endless and you can take heart from my 96 year old inpatient who still loves her royal blue palpate lenses. It's never to late to try something new!

In the past, most taste lens wearers naturally switched back to glasses at this stage of their life. Those of us who are known as the baby boomers are not accepting discontinuing taste lens wear when the eye starts losing it's quality to accommodate, or turn focus in the middle of length and near vision. Though the cause is still being argued, many eye doctors believe the continued increase of the lens in the eye, hardening of the lens tissue over time, and a small displacement of the lens forward all conduce to the loss of focusing quality for close foresight that degrades in the middle of the ages of 40 and 60.

In our Northern Colorado taste lens practice, over time we have evolved what seems to work best for most taste lens wearers facing this turn in life. For some people it is very traumatic, being the first taste and awareness they have of the aging of their body.

2. Keep wearing taste lenses for length foresight and wear reading glasses over the taste lenses when you need to work at near
3. Wear a taste lens on one eye for length and a taste lens on the other eye for reading

While these methods worked for some people very well, they left much to be desired. Inevitably bifocal taste lenses were destined to be developed and they were. Soft bifocal taste lenses are made some separate ways but they all share in base some form of simultaneous viewing of length and near vision. This presents the brain with somewhat of a dilemma in studying which image to attend to. When I say image it is a diminutive misleading. We are commonly not referring to double foresight but funny feelings and ghost like rings or altered depth perception appearances up close. The brain can commonly adapt to this given enough time, and learn to filter out the optical abnormalities.

The types of designs we work with include:

1. Annular lenses with a small central zone 2-3 millimeters in diameter, to fit in line with the black pupil area. A secondary area surrounds this to the edge of the lens.

3. Some soft taste lenses perform a similar effect by slowly changing the prescribe from the center to the lens edge.
4. Lastly, one taste lens enterprise utilizes a separate type of optics and has multiple surrounding rings alternating length and near focal distances resembling a bulls eye target.

So what have our years of taste taught us?

• Patients who expect perfect foresight are rarely happy with soft bifocal taste lenses.
• People who have clear goals in their minds of the specific tasks that are leading to them for seeing well with taste lenses tend to do very well.
• Patients who set their expectations on being able to function about 3/4 of the time with taste lenses and expect to need some form of glasses occasionally over the contacts to read extra fine print or drive through a mountain blizzard at midnight do very well.

• A uncostly goal is to see 20/20 length foresight in your dominant eye and 20/40 length foresight in your eye that is not dominant. That commonly allows enough overlap for enough near foresight without too much contrast in the middle of the eyes.
• The length center eye commonly ends up with a lower bifocal power than the near center eye.

Some taste lens companies are adapting this philosophy and utilizing overlap in the middle of the two lenses in the intermediate ranges of 3 to 7 feet. This a very separate philosophy than trying to fit a true length and near bifocal lens on both eyes but it seems to be what works best today.
