Air Optix Aqua Multifocal (3 lenses)
How to select parameters?
Power (PWR/SPH)
Power or sphere refers to the refractive power of the contact lens. Look for a plus (+) or minus (-) sign. Note that an equals sign (=) may be used in place of a minus sign.
- dioptres are for problems with near vision (far-sightedness)
+ dioptres are for problems with distance vision (near-sightedness)
Curvature (BC)
The base curve describes the curvature of the contact lens surface, i.e. how well the lens fits the shape of your eye.
Diameter (DIA)
The diameter is the width of the contact lens (measured in millimeters). It is not recommended to select a new diameter size without first consulting your optician. Diameter impacts the fit, comfort and functionality of your lenses.
Cylinder (CYL)
The cylinder measurement is used for the correction of astigmatism. It is a negative value that corrects curvature of the cornea.
Cylinder Axis (AX)
The cylinder axis measurement is used for the correction of astigmatism. The value ranges from 0° - 180° and determines the exact position of corneal curvature.
Addition (ADD)
Addition is the difference between the dioptric value for distance vision and the dioptric value for near vision. It indicates the magnifying power in multifocal lenses.

can you please advise me of the add for my lenses which are 3.75 plus for right eye and 2.75 plus for the left? I lost the box of my last order should I order high medium or low add?

ReplyHello there,
Unfortunately the details in your prescription are not something that can be
made up, without the assistance from an ophtalmologist. And the ADD is very
important…
If you have bought your lenses from us in the past, you could contact me with
your details at info@lentiamo.co.uk
Best regards, Fabrizio

I currently use Daily Acuvue Multi Focal Dominant right eye +0.50 Add +1.75 BC 8.4 D 14.3 left eye +1.25 Add +2.50
I can read very well almost as good as reading glasses.
However distance is slightly blurred over 30 metres with the contacts I currently use.
if I don’t have any contacts in at all my reading is poor but distance is very good using both eyes very good using right eye slightly blurred using left eye.
Would a different brand of contact produce better distance or would monthly give me both reading and distance?-

Hi Derek,
That's a job for your eye specialist…I had a similar problem and part of
the fault was on the Base Curve, that needed to be adjusted. It might be just a
single parameter, or you may need to change brand and type of lenses altogether
(multifocal torics?), so go to your trusted ophtamologist to discuss this
problem.
If you have other queries, please contact me at info@lentiamo.co.uk
Best regards, Fabrizio

Dear Mike,
The lenses I'm supposed to wear are multifocal torics, which are even more
complex…and having had a similar problem, I've had to consult with my optician
and try different combinations, to have a positive result. So, I suggest you
see your specialist to see what can be done about that problem, there might be
the need to re-touch the prescription.
Best regards, Fabrizio

If this is a multifocal lense, where do I enter the reading part for the lense?
Not overly clear on what I should order my glasses prescription reads R SPH-3.50 CYL -50 AXIS 95.0 Near ADD +1.75 The left is slightly different but I am not sure how this corresponds through ording with yourselves.-

Hi, Glasses prescriptions are different than lens prescriptions.
I would suggest seeing an optician to get your lens prescription. But from what
it seems with the prescription you provided, you should be looking at toric
lenses not multifocal. Thanks!

What add low.midium,high referring to?

Hi,
Thank you for this question. If you need multifocal contact lenses, you must
also choose the Addition. That is a parameter that should be found on your
prescription.
ADD indicates the difference between both your myopia and your hyperopia in
dioptres (power).
I hope my reply helped. Happy to remain at your service.

How can you tell if the lense is inside out?

If the lens is good for application, it should be curved upwards, like a
bowl, not outwards. This link should give you full details, if your doctor has
not done that yet. https://www.youtube.com/watch?… I hope my reply helped. :)
