Can any of the present laser vision correction (LVC) procedures correct presbyopia?
No. None of the current LVC procedures can correct presbyopia. If you are presbyopic, monovision is an option to help correct both your distance and near vision. The monovision procedure corrects the focus of one eye for distance vision and the other eye for near vision. Monovision is a compromise of both distance and near vision. Depth perception is also affected. For people with high visual demands like sports or constant near work (i.e. reading), we recommend full distance correction, and glasses for near vision. A trial period with contact lenses or glasses may help determine if monovision would be a good option for you.
