The FDA has recently approved the use of the Visx laser the one I use) to create Custom MonoVision - one eye for near, the other for far.  Basically, I can leave the non-dominant eye mildly near-sighted and as long as you keep both eyes open, you can have both your distance vision and your close-up vision optimized.  The works well for those people who require glasses or contacts for distance vision and a bifocal in order to read.  If you have already had LASIK or Epi-LASIK, talk to me about your options.  If you only require reading glasses, also give me a call to discuss options.

 

I have stopped performing NearVision CK to eliminate the need for reading glasses because in too many patients the results were unreliable and lasted only a short time (in my hands).
