Discover how monovision can reduce your dependence on reading glasses by correcting one eye for distance and the other for near vision at Cohen Eye Institute.
What is Monovision?
Monovision can be done through LASIK/PRK/SMILE to fix one eye for distant vision and the other eye for near. This is accomplished by modifying the laser treatment to leave one eye somewhat nearsighted while correcting the other eye fully for distant vision.
Patients with presbyopia (usually, anyone over 40 years of age) is a common disorder in which the lens of the eye loses its ability to see well at near, making reading or other close-up work difficult.
