How does a Multifocal contact lens work?

What contact lenses are placed on?

Contact lenses are typically inserted into the eye by placing them on the pad of the index or middle finger with the concave side upward and then using that finger to place the lens on the eye. Rigid lenses should be placed directly on the cornea . Soft lenses may be placed on the sclera (white of the eye) and then slid into place. Another finger of the same hand, or a finger of the other hand, is used to keep the eye wide open.

Are there bifocal contact lenses?

Bifocal contact lenses are only available as rigid gas permeable lenses.
