Mahwah Bifocal & Multifocal Contact Lenses for Presbyopia: Fittings Announced

Oct 16, 2026

A2Z Eyecare has announced soft and rigid bifocal and multifocal contact lens fittings, backed by trial lenses and follow-up visits, for Mahwah and Bergen County adults who struggle with up-close focus.

Waldwick, United States, October 16, 2026 /NewsNetwork/ -- A2Z Eyecare, an optometry practice in Waldwick, New Jersey, has announced bifocal and multifocal contact lens fittings for Mahwah patients with presbyopia who want clear near and distance vision without depending on reading glasses.

The move comes as presbyopia becomes one of the most widespread vision conditions in the country. Optometry Times reports that it affects about 128 million Americans, and the number keeps growing as more adults pass age 40. A2Z Eyecare seeks to address this by giving Mahwah patients an alternative to switching between reading glasses and distance correction.

"Bifocal and multifocal contact lenses combine near and distance correction within a single lens, so the eyes can shift focus between a phone screen, a book, and the road," explains an A2Z Eyecare spokesperson.

The practice offers both soft and rigid gas permeable versions. Gas permeable lenses provide crisp vision, durability, and high oxygen flow, which makes them suitable for patients with higher prescriptions or irregular corneas.

Each fitting begins with a contact lens exam that goes beyond a routine eye exam. Optometrists measure corneal shape and tear film and assess overall eye health, measurements a routine eye exam does not include. Lens recommendations then account for the patient’s prescription, including any astigmatism alongside presbyopia. Wearing habits shape the choice as well, with lenses matched to everyday use, extended wear, or occasional needs such as sports and travel. Dry eye, allergies, and personal comfort preferences are also weighed before a lens is selected.

Trial lenses are often provided on the day of the exam, so patients can test options before committing. Follow-up visits confirm that the lenses fit correctly and deliver sharp vision, with adjustments to lens type, size, or material when needed. Patients also receive guidance on lens hygiene to reduce the risk of infection and irritation.

For patients who prefer low maintenance, the practice carries disposable lenses, including presbyopia options. Daily disposables offer a fresh, sterile lens each day, which removes the need for cleaning solutions and lowers the risk of deposit buildup, a benefit for people with sensitive eyes. The range draws on leading contact lens brands.

Patients in Mahwah and surrounding communities can request a contact lens exam at A2Z Eyecare, located at 16 East Prospect Street in Waldwick, by calling 201-273-9643 or visiting https://a2zeyecarenj.com/

Reigning champs chase history in New York Marathon

NEW YORK, United States — Defending champions Benson Kipruto and Hellen Obiri of Kenya will chase history and back-to-back titles in Sunday's New York Marathon. About 60,000 runners from 140 nations are expected to compete over 26.2 miles (42.16km) through the five boroughs of New York. Kipruto won the closest New York men's marathon in history last year, edging compatriot Alex Mutiso by three-hundredths of a second after both crossed the finish line in 2:08:09. The 36-year-old Kenyan will try to become the first back-to-back New York men's winner since Geoffrey Mutai of Kenya in 2013. Kipruto also won the 2021 Boston Marathon, 2022 Chicago Marathon and 2024 Tokyo Marathon titles and took third at the 2024 Paris Olympic marathon and this year's Boston Marathon. Ethiopia's Deresa Geleta, sixth in this year's London Marathon, makes his North America marathon debut on the streets of New York. There is also excitement about the marathon debut of 31-year-old Swede Andreas Almgren, who set a European half-marathon record of 58:06 last month at Copenhagen. "I haven't felt nervous yet. Right now it's just excitement," Almgren said. "I don't know that I've ever been so excited for a race." The data analyst also posted on social media: "I"m not saying good bye to track racing. I'm just saying hello to marathons." Obiri, 36, is well-acquainted with the distance. She won the Boston Marathon in 2023 and 2024 and New York Marathon in 2023 and 2025 as well as taking a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics marathon. Obiri took her second New York City Half-Marathon title earlier this year, winning in a course-record 1:06:33. She was this year's London Marathon runner-up, finishing 12 seconds off the women-only marathon world record of 2:15:41 set by Ethiopian Tigst Assefa. Obiri will try to become only the fourth woman to win a third career New York title after Norway's Grete Waitz, Kenya's Mary Keitany and Britain's Paula Radcliffe. Obiri seeks her third crown in four years after setting a course record of 2:19:51 last year. She would be the first New York repeat women's winner since Keitany won from 2014-16. Clear conditions and perfect running temperatures are expected for the 50th edition of the race since it switched to a course that includes each of the city's five boroughs, heralding the modern edition of the event.

Leclerc shows practice pace as Antonelli prowls in Mexico

MEXICO — Charles Leclerc topped the times for Ferrari ahead of runaway championship leader Kimi Antonelli of Mercedes in Friday's opening free practice at the Mexico City Grand Prix. The Monegasque driver clocked a best lap time in one minute and 18.128 seconds to outpace the young Italian by 0.659 seconds in a session, with 10 rookie reserve drivers in action, that was punctuated by a brief Virtual Safety Car intervention. Antonelli, who had been absent from the circuit on Thursday to recover from a virus, can become the sport's youngest world champion on Sunday, and Italy's first since 1953, if he finishes in the top nine. He can also take the title if his two remaining rivals -- Mercedes team-mate George Russell and Ferrari's seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton -- fail to win. Russell sat out FP1 and watched as his replacement, reserve Frederik Vesti, finished third-fastest in the second Mercedes ahead of Hamilton. Another rookie Ayumi Iwasa was fifth for Red Bull in the car normally occupied by four-time champion Max Verstappen. Pierre Gasly was sixth for Alpine ahead of Aston Martin's two-time champion Fernando Alonso, Oscar Piastri of McLaren, Oliver Bearman of Haas and Racing Bulls' Arvid Lindblad. Isack Hadjar, in the second Red Bull, was 11th after struggling with power unit problems. Hamilton was first out at the start of the session, his Ferrari carrying aero rakes to provide data for the set up. He was followed by three of the 10 rookies, including several considered future stars. The Briton earlier confirmed that he intended to continue racing "for the foreseeable future" so long as he remains competitive in a bid to take part in the planned African Grand Prix in Rwanda. "You've never had anyone like me here in the 70 years," he told reporters, as he outlined his ambitions, stressing that his fitness and reactions remained undimmed. "I feel that I'm built differently," he said. "I'm still all in, and I will be for the foreseeable future." Ferrari were the only team not to run a rookie in FP1 on a high-altitude circuit where engines struggle with the thin air, which, at 2.285 meters, has only 78 per cent of the density at sea level. Perez, preparing for his 300th F1 race after signing a multi-year contract extension, clocked an early fastest lap for Cadillac before the usual suspects took control with Antonelli, Leclerc and Hamilton leading the way. The young Italian, like Perez and his team-mate Valtteri Bottas, had been hit by a virus, but he looked as fast and determined as ever. Leclerc continued the form he enjoyed in Texas ahead of last weekend’s United States Grand Prix when he was fastest in both Friday sessions.
