Monovision

Convenience

With monovision, you do not need to carry reading glasses. You can read text messages and menus without having to rely on cumbersome corrective eyewear.

Confidence

Today, the ages at which presbyopia can develop (35 to 50) are by no means considered "old," but bifocals and reading glasses can certainly make you feel that way. 

Versatility

Wearing contacts, having intraocular lenses implanted, or undergoing LASIK or PRK surgery can achieve monovision. Patients often begin by wearing contacts, and if they like the results, they can choose a more permanent solution.

Your optometrist can prescribe two different contact lenses. One will be attuned for close focus and the other will help you focus on distant objects.

You can undergo LASIK or PRK to achieve permanent corneal refinements that allow close focus in one eye and distance focus in the other.

 If you have cataracts, you can request to receive intraocular lenses (IOLs) that provide close and distant focus respectively.
