I’ve used the soft bifocal contacts for many years now. My eyes have generally stayed at the same prescription or gotten stronger over that time. Since cataract surgery in 1 eye (which no longer needs correction) I am wearing 1 bifocal contact, with the prescription in that eye holding steady for many years now. I can function just fine with no correction at all in a pinch. For young people it’s definitely worth doing if you can (not everyone is a candidate).

My 1 eye surgery resulted in double vision at a distance. (Seeing 2 seagulls instead of one).
Especially for the extra expense and long preparations I miss my glasses.
