Your eyes cannot escape the hands of time. And so, your vision changes and develops over the course of your life.
Considering how much your eyes change throughout your life, it’s important to be aware of key aspects of eye health and vision changes that are specific to each phase of life.
When it comes to monovision vs multifocal contacts, which should you choose? It all depends on your eye needs. Multifocal contact lenses have different powers within a single lens to allow you to see at various distances.
