Has anyone tried bifocal contact lenses?

I hear they are weighted . I don't want to try the type where one eye in for close and one for far. I have always had contacts but now need bifocals and these glasses drive me nuts.

    Soft bifocal contacts are not weighted. They usually use concentric circles of your distance and near prescription. All of them compromise your distance vision some. As a long time contact lens wearer, you are a better candidate than someone who has never worn before.
