Can contact lenses handle near/far distance like progressive eyeglasses?


I am thinking of getting contact lenses to replace my current PROGRESSIVE eyeglasses. I am very myopic with -5 diopters left eye and -9.25 diopters right eye. My current eyeglasses are progressive for both close and far distance.

Can contact lenses handle near and far vision in the same way as do progressive eyeglasses. Or can you only get contacts for one distance (say near or far) and then have to wear eyeglasses on top of that? (hope not).
