I DON’T WANT TO HAVE TO USE READING GLASSES AFTER AGE 40 TO READ SMALL PRINT OR LOOK AT MY COMPUTER WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS WITH IntraLASIK?
Some patients with Presbyopia choose “Monovision.” Monovision involves making one eye (usually the dominant eye) see clearly for long-distance and the other eye see near or reading distance. It allows individuals to see near and far with minimal to no reliance on glasses or contact lenses even after age 40. We can simulate monovision with contact lenses before IntraLASIK. If the patient likes the monovision, then we can reproduce it with IntraLASIK. Monovision works well for approximately 50% of the patients who are motivated to make it work. Lens replacement surgery with the crystalens, restor, tecnis multifocal or rezoom implant is another surgical option for patients who wish to obtain excellent far and near vision with minimal to no reliance on reading glasses or bifocals (click here for more information about presbyopia).
