I have monovision contact lenses. Is monovision possible with LASIK, so that I can be free from reading glasses?
Monovision refers to contact lenses that allow one eye to see distance clearly, and the other eye to read fine print. This allows people in their late forties who use bifocals to be completely free of glasses. If you are a successful wearer of monovision contact lenses, you can most likely achieve the same result with LASIK. If, after having the monovision correction with LASIK, you find that you would prefer to have both eyes corrected for distance, your near eye can be enhanced by the laser. Both eyes would then be corrected for distance, and you would then need reading glasses only for close range.
