Monovision: A Revolutionary Approach to Vision Correction in Boston
Are you tired of constantly switching between reading glasses and contact lenses? If you’re over 40 and struggling with presbyopia, monovision might be the innovative solution you’ve been searching for. At Boston Vision, we’re proud to offer this cutting-edge procedure to help our patients achieve clearer vision and greater independence from corrective eyewear.
What is Monovision?
Monovision is a unique vision correction technique that addresses both distance and near vision needs simultaneously. This approach involves correcting one eye for distance vision and the other for near vision, allowing your brain to adapt and provide clear sight at various ranges.
How Does Monovision Work?
During a monovision procedure, our expert surgeons use advanced laser technology to reshape the cornea of each eye differently. The dominant eye is typically corrected for distance vision, while the non-dominant eye is adjusted for near vision. This creates a balanced visual system that can handle both far and close-up tasks without the need for glasses or contacts in most situations.
Benefits of Monovision
Monovision offers several advantages for patients with presbyopia:
- Reduced dependence on reading glasses
- Improved visual acuity for both near and far distances
- Quick and minimally invasive procedure
- Short recovery time
- Long-lasting results
Is Monovision Right for You?
While monovision can be an excellent option for many patients, it’s not suitable for everyone. Factors such as your age, overall eye health, and specific visual needs will determine if you’re a good candidate for this procedure. At Boston Vision, we offer comprehensive consultations to assess your eligibility and discuss all available options.
The Monovision Experience at Boston Vision
When you choose Boston Vision for your monovision procedure, you’re in expert hands. Our team of experienced ophthalmologists, including Dr. Samir Melki and Dr. Jason Brenner, use state-of-the-art technology to ensure precise and personalized results.
Before committing to the procedure, we typically recommend a trial period with contact lenses to simulate the monovision effect. This allows you to experience the visual changes and determine if monovision is comfortable for your lifestyle.
Monovision vs. Traditional LASIK
While both monovision and traditional LASIK use laser technology to reshape the cornea, they serve different purposes. Traditional LASIK aims to correct both eyes for distance vision, while monovision creates a purposeful difference between the eyes to address both near and far vision needs.
Recovery and Results
Most patients experience improved vision within 24 hours of the monovision procedure. Full adaptation to the new visual system typically occurs within a few weeks to a few months. During this time, your brain learns to seamlessly switch between the two eyes for different visual tasks.
