How will monovision impact my ability to perform in certain sports?
It depends on the person and the sport. Fast moving sports may be more affected than slower sports. Racquetball, tennis, baseball, motorcycle racing, and other fast moving activities may be more difficult with monovision because the depth perception might be affected slightly. Slower sports like golf, basketball, skiing and bicycling may be less affected, though some people may notice troubles with these sports with monovision. Everyone is different. If you choose to do monovision and have problems with certain activities, the options would be to either have a retreatment, give up the monovision and improve this distance vision, or wear a contact lens in the undercorrected eye to bring the two eyes into balance. Many patients who do this for a few hours per week while playing tennis or racquetball, then take the lens out and enjoy the reading advantage monovision offers. Click here to email Dr.
