• What kind of people need bifocal glasses?

  People who have strong prescription don't necessarily need bifocals,they just need the single vision glasses.Bifocal glasses are used for people who need two different strengths of lenses,especially for those who have presbyopia and myopia at the same time.

• Can bifocal glasses help slow down nearsightedness?

  No,they can't help you slow down the myopia, they can only help you correct your vision when reading or working on a computer,but they can't do the job(reading and working on a computer)at the same time.You'd better get progressive glasses which can enable you to see far,middle and near.

• Are there such things as bifocal contacts?

  Of course there are bifocal contacts.I think your doctor are too ignorant.You can get them from other optical stores.

• Can I use the bifocal prescription for single vision glasses?

  Surely you can.The prescription for bifocal or single vision glasses are same.But if you want to get contacts,you need a different one.

• How to do the eye makeup when wearing eyeglasses?

  I have not run into such problems,but I think you can ask your friends or sister or someone else to help you finish the eye makeup if available.

• Can I get bifocal prescription contacts?

  Yes,bifocal contacts can be got in most optical stores and online stores.But before you wear them,you need to have an eye exam to determine whether you are a good candidate for contacts.It is responsible for your eye health.

• Is it possible to wear reading glasses over contact lenses?

  I think you are meaning the "prescription stacking".It may be not practicable and inconvenient.What would you do if you need to see things far away?Take off your reading glasses? The contacts are not enough to correct your vision obviously.

• Can a 25- year-old person get bifocal glasses from doctor?

  Of course you can.It has nothing to do with the age.But make sure you really need the bifocals first.
