Where should you aim your vision?
-
Learn about the different focal points for your vision after surgery
-
Distance, Intermediate, Near
-
What about MONOVISION?
Distance Focused
-
Distance vision means far objects are clear
-
This picture shows the TV being clear as a far object
-
Intermediate vision is blurry as seen with the hazy computer screen
-
Reading vision is blurry as seen with the hazy book
-
This is a great option for many people who like to drive and watch TV without glasses
Intermediate Focused
-
Intermediate vision means objects around your arms length are clear
-
This includes your computer, which is seen clearly in the photo
-
It also includes activities like cooking and seeing large items at the store
-
Vision focused exclusively at the intermediate distance leaves the distance and near vision blurry as seen in the photo
Near Focused
-
Near focused vision is also known as reading vision
-
People with near focused vision can see small print and perform tasks like threading a needle
-
They can expect computer or intermediate vision to be blurry
-
Glasses will be necessary for distance activities like watching TV and driving
-
The photo shows clear reading vision, but blurry computer and TV vision
Monovision
-
Monovision means one eye is distance focused and one eye is intermediate or near focused
-
This is great because it gives more range of vision
-
Many people love monovision and do not notice the difference in focus
-
Some people have a hard time getting used to monovision
-
Monovision is not perfect and some people may need glasses for best distance vision or small print
-
It can be trialed with contact lenses before surgery
-
The photo seen here shows more range of vision with clear distance and intermediate. The near vision is not super sharp and glasses may be needed.
