Multifocal Contact Lenses
in Bakersfield, CA
See Clearly at Every Distance with Multifocal Contact Lenses
If reading a text message, menu, or computer screen has become more difficult, you may be experiencing presbyopia. This age-related vision change is a normal part of aging and often begins in your 40s.
At Li & Liao Optometry, we fit advanced multifocal contact lenses that help you see clearly at near, intermediate, and far distances without constantly switching between contacts and reading glasses. Our experienced team will help you find the right lens design for your eyes, lifestyle, and visual goals.
What Are Multifocal Contact Lenses?
Multifocal contact lenses are specialty lenses that contain multiple viewing zones within a single lens. Unlike bifocal contacts, which typically provide two distinct prescription zones, multifocal lenses offer a gradual transition between near, intermediate, and distance vision.
This design allows your eyes to focus on a variety of distances throughout the day, making tasks like reading, working on a computer, driving, and watching television more comfortable and convenient.
What Is Presbyopia?
Presbyopia is a natural age-related condition that affects your ability to focus on close objects. As the eye’s natural lens becomes less flexible over time, near vision gradually becomes more challenging.
Common symptoms of presbyopia include:
- Holding reading materials farther away
- Difficulty reading small print
- Eye strain during close-up tasks
- Headaches after reading or computer use
- Increased reliance on reading glasses
Multifocal contact lenses are one of the most effective ways to manage presbyopia while maintaining clear vision at multiple distances.

Multifocal Contacts for Astigmatism

TESTIMONIALS
“I’ve been coming here to Dr. Li and Dr. Liao for almost 20 years with zero bad experiences for contacts and glasses. Wouldn’t trust any place else. I like that you can make appointment online in a zip. Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable and they take the time to make sure everything is right by being transparent by showing you your retinal images, explaining whats going on to the detail scientifically with your vision so you understand. I like having the retinal imaging done that doesn’t require eye drops and takes a few seconds, pretty cool tech. Huge glasses selection on major brands. They have social distancing, air filter, and uv disinfection for trying on glasses which I thought was pretty cool. All the assistants super friendly as well so overall positive atmosphere and highly recommended.”

“Dr. Li was nice and personable, but the staff member who helped me, another young lady who’s name I never caught, was so kind! She helped me figure out contacts and chose glasses that I felt were my style/fit me. The price of glasses was much more than I was expecting, but at least I’ll be fashionable! I’m content with the service and would recommend this office for the top notch service.”
– Kendahl G.
Dr. Li and his staff couldn’t have been any better. My daughters appointment for her first contact lenses went perfect. They spent a ton of time and energy. Frankly, I couldn’t have imagined it going any better. She left confident and comfortable. Thank you for such a splendid job!”
