Monovision
What is Monovision, and how does it improve vision?
It is a vision correction joined for Presbyopia, which is an age-related near vision change. It corrects one eye for distance and another for near vision, giving the person the ability to see well through various distances without the use of constant spectacles or contact lenses. Monovision can be performed using contact lenses or with a laser or one of the other surgical procedures. At Tender Palm Eye Hospital, expert ophthalmologists consider personalizing Monovision to each patient’s lifestyle and visual needs.
Who is a candidate for Monovision?
Monovision fits individuals over 40 years of age who have Presbyopia and have no eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, or severe dry eye, yet those who can adapt to the initial period and understand the effects should also be influenced by Monovision.
How to achieve Monovision?
Monovision can be achieved by:-
- A non-invasive method of contact lenses – one for near vision and one for distance lens.
- Laser reshapes the cornea of each eye to achieve the desired focus.
- Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) – The eye’s natural lens is replaced with an artificial lens tailored for Monovision.
The choice differs because of patient preferences, the health status of the eyes, and lifestyle which would be determined after a thorough evaluation by our specialist at Tender Palm Eye Hospital.
What happens in LASIK Monovision?
If LASIK is selected, the procedure is as follows:-
- Preoperative Preparation – The eye is nursed by numb drops and prepared for surgery.
- Reshaping cornea – excimer laser reshapes a cornea for one eye distance, and for the other for up-close vision.
- Done – That’s about the duration of the procedure – as much as 15-30 minutes, and home is possible that same day.
Does the procedure hurt?
No, LASIK for Monovision is painless because numbing drops are applied during treatment. The patient may feel slight pressure, but nothing painful.
How do you check for Monovision before surgery?
A contact lens trial is usually done before surgery to confirm that patients will be answering to Monovision well, to give them the experience of adjustment, and to understand if this option works for their expectations or not.
What are the risks associated with Monovision?
Like other forms of vision correction, Monovision has some risks involved, such as:-
- One-eye adjustment is difficult.
- For some activities, depth perception appears less than optimal.
- Glare or haloing may occur at night or in dim light.
- Temporary dry eye or increased sensitivity immediately after surgery.
At Tender Palm Eye Hospital, with state-of-the-art techniques and exhaustive preoperative evaluations, all associated risks are minimized to the fullest possible extent, ensuring the maximum possible patient safety and satisfaction. Repeatedly, the benefits of Monovision include freedom from glasses, a personalized solution, distance versatility, and long-term cost savings.
However, it should most importantly discuss recovery behavior:-
Recovery after Monovision surgery is as follows:-
- For LASIK RLE there might be mild discomfort, dry eyes, or light sensitivity for a few days. Most people will return to normal activities after 24-48 hours. Vision usually stabilizes in a few weeks.
- For contact lenses adaptation may take a few days to weeks, but ongoing visits for proper fitting and comfort will ensure success.
What can patients do to help in the speedy recovery process?
To facilitate healing and adaptation, these patients will:-
- Use prescribed eye drops to get rid of dryness and infection.
- Avoid rubbing their eyes and protecting them from dust and water during the first week after the surgery.
- Be punctual for all the follow-up appointments to monitor and further adjust.
- Slowly adapt to tasks requiring depth perception, such as driving or sports.
How long does it take to adapt to Monovision?
There is no comfortable time frame because each person is different, while some can get used to it in a matter of days, others may take weeks.
Are the results of Monovision permanent?
Generally, Monovision results are lasting, especially with surgical procedures such as LASIK or RLE; age-related natural changes still affect vision. Thus, periodic evaluations or further treatments may still be the need.
Follow-up eye records would take care of health and vision for the rest.
