Can you perform monovision correction with iLASIK?
Yes. Many of our patients have chosen monovision, which enables one eye to focus on objects at near, while the other eye focuses on distant objects. Some of our patients have chosen this type of surgical correction and have eliminated the need for reading glasses even when they reach presbyopia. Some patients are bothered by the difference in their eyes with this type of correction. These patients choose to have their myopia only slightly under corrected or fully corrected. They would then need glasses for reading or close work when they become presbyopic. If myopia is partially reduced in one eye (as in monovision) that myopia can be fully reduced if the patient chooses.
