Can I do 'Mono-Vision' like I did with my contact lenses?
Yes, mono-vision is a very viable option, particularly in patients
who have tried it with prior LASIK or contact lenses. This
technique makes each eye see slightly differently so that when
used together, the range of vision is expanded. This is done by
making the dominant eye see more sharply at distance, while
the other eye sees better up close. This arrangement is called
mono-vision and it’s sometimes done in contact lens patients,
where one eye is used to see far and the other eye is used to
see near. To optimize the results of mono-vision, implantation
of a specialized accommodating lens designed for maximizing the range of sharp vision is used. This allows the patient to see
sharply at a distance and still read many things up close
without glasses. The benefit of this arrangement is the low
incidence of visual glare and halos while still providing a full
range of good vision without glasses. |
