Are bifocal contacts easier for men or women to get used to?
These multifocal lenses work a bit differently than conventional contacts do. There are two powers on each contact -- one to correct vision up close, and one for far away. Certain types of bifocal lenses are made very much like bifocal eyeglasses are. This means they have two different prescriptions with the close up vision correction on the bottom and far away vision correction on top with a line separating the two. Other types of bifocal contacts blend the two types of prescriptions together like progressive lens eyeglasses do. Your eye doctor will determine which type of lens is best for you. This does not answer my question AT ALL ! I wasnted to know if it's easier for men or women to get used to bifocal contacts. the reason I ask is that I had absolutely no problem from the first second I got mine but my brother & a male first cousin could not wear them at all. I've heard that the 2 hemispheres of the female brain communicate more than the hemispheres of male brains. I was wondering if that fact accounted for the difference between my experience & that of my male relatives.
