A member asked:

Are there contact lenses for someone with faresighted, astigmatism, and bifocal? my eye doc wasn't correcting the bifocal. rotated to much in trial

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not any that work : Bifocal contact lenses do not work well for many people, you add in a astigmatic correction and this is even harder to get good vision.
