Is there such thing as reading glasses contact lenses?

Bifocal ctls : Yes, there are bifocal contact lenses. An examination by an ophthalmologist or optometrist can assess your eyes to see if you're a good candidate for a fitting and trial. Good luck.

Yes: There are bifocal contact lenses. Another option is wearing a regular contact lens that makes your near vision better in 1 eye. This is called monovision.
