• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Why I get a headache when wearing bifocal glasses?

  Make sure the prescription is correct.Maybe you are not get used to them.Try to increase the time of wearing them gradually and you may get used to them soon.

• 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.
