A week after the last eye was done I tested 20-20 capable. That was 3 years ago and I still have no need for reading glasses.

My research before deciding to go mono and with the Toric lense confirmed for me that the much touted upgraded bi focal type lenses had significantly less (SIGNIFICANT ) than 50% satisfaction and users relying on glasses....not just readers..........hence my decision........and 100% satisfaction.

I loved my mono vision contacts. So you may have the answer, BTK. I could not, however, play pickle ball or tennis with them as the middle distance vision was not good. So for instance, when the ball is going over the net, my vision was not good. But that may be a personal issue with my eyes. Maybe others can relate their experiences with mono vision when playing tennis or PB.
