Monovision LASIK
To treat presbyopia, you and your eye doctor may decide to leave one eye slightly nearsighted while correcting your other eye for distance vision. This procedure is called Monovision LASIK. With both eyes open, you’ll experience clear and comfortable vision both near and far.

Presbyopia
People with presbyopia often notice they need more light to read, and have to hold reading material at arm’s length to focus.
-
Will the treatment for presbyopia affect my distance vision?
The majority of patients who are treated for presbyopia find that their distance vision remains or is minimally affected.
-
Is monovision right for me?
If you’ve been diagnosed with presbyopia, corneal inlays and monovision LASIK are both options. Most people who try monovision adapt to it well. Your NVISION surgeon will work with you to determine which solution is best for your needs based on your eye exam and visual goals.

Does the treatment for presbyopia have a similar effect as monovision contacts?
Laser vision correction for presbyopia is similar to using monovision contacts, a practice in which the contacts are fit with one eye for distance vision and one eye for close-up vision.
