If you've struggled with traditional monovision or multifocal contact lenses, EDOF lenses may be your answer:

How EDOF Lenses Work

Extended Focal Point:

Instead of splitting light into distinct near and far points like bifocal or trifocal lenses, EDOF lenses extend the eye's natural depth of focus. 

Continuous Vision:

This creates a smooth, continuous field of vision, allowing for clearer sight at various distances, from far away to arm's length. 

Reduced Side Effects:

By avoiding multiple focal points, EDOF lenses are less likely to cause bothersome side effects such as halos or glare, especially in low-light conditions or when using digital screens.
