MONOVISION

Presbyopia & Monovision LASIK

Presbyopia is a condition that typically becomes noticeable for most people around age 45. In children and young adults, the lens inside the eye can easily focus on distant and near objects. With age, the lens loses its ability to focus adequately. There are several treatment options including Monovision LASIK. Monovision is a technique used to treat people with presbyopia, which is normal age-related loss of the ability to focus on near objects. The objective is for the person to use one eye for distance vision and one eye for near vision.

Unlike traditional LASIK, Monovision LASIK may reduce the need for reading glasses in some people over 40.
