Can we perform monovision with Custom LASIK?
Monovision is a treatment often considered by those patients in mid-life or older. These patients have already lost most of the eye’s natural ability to focus on objects at close range (presbyopia), but would still like to be free from glasses or contacts. Monovision offers this option. During laser vision correction for monovision, we will correct one eye for near focus and the other eye for distance. He has patients try out monovision with contact lenses first to find out if this treatment is the best option for them. We can use Custom LASIK correction on the distance eye. This level of treatment, however, is not approved for the near vision eye, for which he uses standard LASIK.
