Do you wear them?

If so, do you have monovision lenses (one for distance, other for reading)? Or, what about multifocal lenses, like these?

Are these enough questions?

Yes. I used to wear mine all the time, but now that I stare at a quote screen all day, I tend to wear glasses to work. I found that my contacts didn't hold up very well for that. I have a pretty good astigmatism, so I have to get the special ones for that as well.

Did you have problems viewing your computer screen? Or, did your i's get tired?

I wear contact lenses and I've tried the multifocal, but I couldn't get used to them.

I would love to try the ProClear but don't know if I really want to go down the contacts route again. I have done a little Internet research and ProClear seems to be hands down the winnah for multifocals. Lots of good reviews on different forums I've checked.
If you go that way, please report back on how they work for you. TIA.

yes. put in a pair, leave them in for about six weeks, then toss them.
