Instructions for the Monovision Wearer
• Monovision: a treatment technique often prescribed for people age 40 and over who have
presbyopia. Presbyopia occurs as part of the natural aging process. The eye’s crystalline
loses its ability to bring close objects into clear focus. Monovision means wearing a contact
lens for near vision on one eye and, if needed, a lens for distance vision on the other eye.
The decision to be fit with a monovision correction is made by careful consideration of your
needs with your eye care practitioner.
• You should be aware that, as with any type of lens correction, there are advantages
and compromises to monovision contact lens therapy. The benefit of clear near vision
in straight ahead and upward gaze that is available with monovision may be
accompanied by a vision compromise that may reduce your visual acuity and depth
perception for distance and near tasks. Some patients have experienced difficulty
adapting to it. Symptoms, such as mild blurred vision, dizziness, headaches, and a
feeling of slight imbalance, may last for a brief minute or for several weeks as
adaptation takes place. The longer these symptoms persist, the poorer your prognosis
for successful adaptation. You should avoid visually demanding situations during the
initial adaptation period. It is recommended that you first wear these contact lenses in
familiar situations, which are not visually demanding. For example, it might be better
to be a passenger rather than a driver of an automobile during the first few days of
lens wear. It is recommended that you only drive with monovision correction if you
pass your state drivers license requirements with monovision correction.
• Some monovision patients will never be fully comfortable functioning under low levels
of illumination, such as driving at night. If this happens, you may want to discuss with
your eye care practitioner having additional contact lenses prescribed so that both
eyes are corrected for distance when sharp distance binocular vision is required.
