Blended Vision

Blended Vision or Monovision is a term coined to describe when each eye is corrected differently to each other – focusing one at distance and the other either near or intermediate distance, in view to reduce the need for visual hardware at both distance and near. Blended vision can be attained via laser eye surgery or intraocular lens implant.

Understanding presbyopia is the first step in grasping the concept of blended vision. As with any procedure what is most important is choosing an experienced surgeon and ensure thorough understanding of the pros and cons.

A trial prior to a decision is important to “test drive” what blended vision is and whether or the difference between each eye can be tolerated.

Reserved for presbyopic patients who have lost the ability to read unaided, blended vision is yet another option for those looking to reduce dependency on contact lenses or glasses.
