One option that is available to you if you are planning to get laser vision correction is monovision. Monovision corrects one eye for far vision and the other eye for near vision. The result is that, once your brain adjusts, you can see both near and far clearly.
Monovision has been in use even before laser vision correction and is an option for other refractive surgeries as well. Many people choose monovision in order to avoid needing reading glasses as they age. Deciding if monovision is right for you is something that you can discuss with your surgeon. Choosing a Laser Vision Correction Option
At Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley, the doctors generally suggest that those who are under 35 years of age refrain from getting monovision. There are two reasons for this recommendation. First of all, because presbyopia (the condition that makes people need reading glasses) does not begin until around 40 years of age, it will take a while before monovision actually proves useful. Secondly, the field of laser vision correction is continually advancing and it is possible that by the time someone under 35 years old becomes presbyopic there may be a better treatment available. If you have any questions about this or any other laser vision correction option, contact the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley. The center's staff is ready, willing, and able to provide you with any information you need about laser eye surgery.
