I had my eyes done by Dr Ireland as mono vision, one close one far and I'm very happy. Note that I wore, many years ago, contacts that were also monovision and having the previous experience with monovision may be a requirement - but not sure. Advantages are: no special expensive lens required, no need to keep a pair of cheater glasses around all the time to read something. On the negative side; you sight either far or near might not be as good as if both eyes we adjusted either far or close ( I think this is also a disadvantage of multi-focus lens). At least for me, the advantages far outweighed the negatives. If you qualify you will have to try monovision contacts for a short period of time to ensure you are able to adjust to them.

And one last note: This is only my experience and opinion and I'm not in any way qualified to give eye advice to anyone.
