monovision

I have had a consultation at optical express and they say I am suitable for anytype of laser surgery. I currently wear varifocals, I am 49yrs old. I am worried about my reading vision being worse afterwards. They mentioned monovision but didnt dwell on it. If I had monovision done how would I be able to read with one good eye when I struggle to read without glasses already? the vision in my eye that isnt operated on cant improve can it?

Hi there. Can you give me details of your prescription please so I can better answer your question. Please reply in the forum.

Hi. I havent got a copy of my presription but I think its -2.5 or there abouts one eye slightly worse. I know I am moderately shortsighted and have needed a near sight correction as well for 3 years which I think is mild. sorry I cant be more accurate.

You have 4 options and they are as follows: 1. You could have both eyes treated for distance vision but then you would still need glasses for reading. 2. Laser blended vision 3. CK Treatment 4. Monovision
