I am 55 and was wearing progressive lens glasses...
I am 55 and was wearing progressive lens glasses to accommodate my need for glasses for both reading and distance. My wife had received Monovision LASIK and is very happy with the results. She can now read and see full distance without glasses and raves about the results of her LASIK procedure. She finally convinced my to have it done. I play a lot of softball, drive at night often, look at my phone often and look at dual monitors at work every day, all day. My left eye is my dominant eye so I had that one set for distance and had the right eye set for reading. I fully understood that it might take some time for my mind to adapt to the difference in vision in both eyes. However, FOR ME, that never happened. Although my monovision surgery did allow me to do away with glasses when looking at my phone and driving, there were some issues for me that I could not adapt to: I needed to wear 1.00 readers to see my screens clearly at work (not a big deal, but disappointing as it defeated the purpose) but more importantly, for distance, I always had the sensation of seeing clearly AND blurry at the same time. Hard to explain unless it has happened to you. That sensation never went away. I had to stop playing softball because the ball was "clear" but at the same time there was a ghosting around it ( I guess that is the best way to describe it ) This same thing happened when driving at night ( I can see and read the signs , but at the same time there was a blurriness. This sensation was most prominent in the train station --low light, crowds of people at all different distances. So, I opted to get the reading eye enhanced to full distance to match the other eye. Yes, I now have to wear reading glasses, but I am so happy and satisfied with the results. Amazing. I only wish I had done it from the get-go instead of opting for monovision. LIke I said, my wife loves her monovision. It works extremely well with her. Just didn't for me. My eyes were worse for reading then her's were, so the difference between distance and reading correction for her vs me is that her's is less, so that might be why it works so well for her and did not work as well for me.
