Can I sleep in my Proclear Multifocal Toric N contact lenses?
No. Proclear Multifocal Torin N contact lenses have not been approved for overnight use.

What does the “N” stand for?
In most cases, Proclear Multifocal Toric lenses work on a two-lense system. When your eye doctor writes your contact lens prescription, he or she will usually designate one eye as dominant (“D”) and one eye as non-dominant (“N”). Proclear Multifocal toric (type N) lenses are designed for use in the non-dominant eye. Each type works differently on the eye, so occasionally a doctor will prescribe two “D” or two “N” lenses, depending on the patient’s specific needs
