Okay, here's his response:

"My pat answer regarding multifocal contacts is that they work well for some people.

The result depends on many factors:
their prescription
the type of work they do
tolerance to occaisional blur
adequate tearing to support contacts

Any eye doctor can obtain free trial lenses. I would suggest going to her doc and expressing her interest to see if she is a good candidate. I will say that most people when comparing glasses to multifocal contacts for near vision tasks say they SEE better with glasses. The fact that they may LOOK better in contacts sometimes makes a little vision concession acceptable. Hope this helps."
