• What glasses lens should I get if I want to wear them all the time?

  I think you may need progressive glasses as you want to wear them all the time for reading or watching TV.They have multifocus and enable you to see far,middle and near.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• Can I use bifocal glass for frequent computer work?

  No,bifocal glasses are only designed for near and far distance,not for the computer use.So you'd better not use them.You can buy a pair of computer glasses specially for computer use.

• Is it possible to get Reading Glass Rx from Bifocal Rx?

  Of course you can.Just show your prescription to the doctor and tell him you need reading glasses. He will know what strength you need.There is a formula to calculate the reading RX based on your prescription.

• Are bifocal contact lenses easy to use?

  If it is your first time wearing contacts,you may have difficulty putting them in and getting out. They are not as easy as glasses to use.But when you are buying them,your doctor would tell you how to use them.Once you get used to them,it is much easier.

• 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.
