ARE YOU IN YOUR 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s or even 80s................... or know someone who is?? The onset of presbyopia can be frustrating if you wear contact lenses and want to continue seeing clearly up close without reading glasses.One solution is to have your eye care practitioner perform a monovision contact lens fitting. Monovision with contacts can reduce your need for readers and is an especially good option if you are not a good candidate for bifocal glasses. How Monovision Works: With monovision, you wear a contact lens on one eye to correct your distance vision and a contact lens on your other eye to correct your near vision. The lens for distance vision is usually worn on your dominant eye. With monovision, the eye that sees well for distance vision will be slightly blurred up close and the eye that sees well up close will be slightly blurred when looking at distant objects. But with both eyes open, typically the result is acceptably clear and comfortable vision at all distances! Therefore, the term monovision is somewhat misleading. The two eyes still work together as a team to see clearly at all distances; its just that one eye is clearer than the other, and the stronger eye will depend on whether you are looking at something far away or up close. Though monovision might sound difficult to adjust to, most people adapt very well and eventually dont even notice which eye is their distance eye and which is their near eye. Bill Lyon has been successfully fitting his patients into monovision for over 35 years, if you have any further questions please feel free to contact our office for more information...also, feel free to share this article with your friends and family :) The Lyon Contact Lens Center 3000 W.
