PV2 Multifocal Contact Lenses
PV2 Multifocal is the common search name for Bausch + Lomb PureVision2 for Presbyopia, a monthly multifocal contact lens for people who need help with both near and distance vision.
If you are searching for PV2 multifocal, you are looking for PureVision2 for Presbyopia. It is a reusable monthly multifocal contact lens, not a normal single-focus lens.
What is a multifocal contact lens?
A multifocal contact lens contains more than one focusing zone so the wearer can use vision at different distances. It is commonly considered for presbyopia, the age-related difficulty with near focus that can affect reading and phone use.
How does PV2 Multifocal differ from normal contact lenses?
A standard spherical PV2 lens mainly corrects one basic distance prescription. PV2 Multifocal is designed for presbyopia and uses Bausch + Lomb's 3-Zone Progressive design to support near, intermediate and distance vision.
