Default Consider Mono Vision - works great for me

In my opinion, not as difficult to get used to, as many think....
however it is not for everybody.
I had mono vision surgery done. One eye close and one eye far by St Luke and I'm completely satisfied. No extra cost and I don't have to wear close up glasses to read. Your eye sight might not be perfect for far or close but in my case its pretty good and a lot better than having to put on a pair of near glasses to read. I did wear mono vision contact lenses prior to my surgery so I was used to mono vision but St Luke still required trying on mono lenses prior to the surgery to determine if I was a good candidate for them. I would talk to your Dr about mono vision but they might push the way more expensive lenses since I would gather they make a few more $$ and mono vision isn't of everyone (but I'm not sure the more expensive lens are perfect either - I have no experience with them to really give an opinion)
