Hi Steve.. the simple answer is yes you can get multifocal contacts. I have never used them as I my eye condition does not allow it (Astigmatism). However I do have multifocal glasses and just use single vision contacts for times like using the Telescope. I find that overall my vision is good using the scope and reading charts, However if I look up at the sky I find my long vision is OK but not as good as with my glasses. I also find my close vision is a compromise. It's Ok and I can read things, but is not anyway as clear as with my multifocal glasses. All that being said, it is alot better than dealing with glasses whilst using the scope. I have a magnifying Glass in my case for the times I need a little extra seeing to read small things on eyepieces etc
