What if am older than 40 and don’t want to lose my close up vision?

This is where monovision comes into play. Monovision refers to calibrating your vision with the laser or contact lenses so your dominant eye sees well at distance without glasses while your non-dominant eye sees close-up. This will allow you to delay the need for reading glasses. Monovision is for when you are “on the go”. Even with monovision you will need glasses to read small print at some point. You may even need glasses for night driving. Most people find this still by far less inconvenient than searching for glasses every time you need to look at your watch or smartphone. Remember, it is by far less inconvenient to go back for a touch up (if you don’t like monovision) than be stuck with magnifiers for all near tasks for the rest of your life.
