LASIK Monovision
If you are over the age of 40 years & wearing bifocals for reading then Monovion LASIK laser vision correction may be for you. Our doctors at our offices will show you how “monovision looks” with a pair of glasses simulating the results…Monovision works by putting one eye, usually the dominant eye, for distance. The other eye, non-dominant eye, is mainly made for near vision. There may be an “imbalance” in the distance vision; less so for younger patients & more so for older patients. Despite the imbalance, some patients can acclimate to the imbalance over just a week or two. If the patients cannot tolerate the “monovion imbalance” for distance or near, then an enhancement or second LASIk treatment can be applied to the non-dominant near eye and convert to it to see better for distance. Afterwards these patients would need reading glasses as both eyes are now corrected to improve the distance vision without imbalance issues.
