• You should be aware that as with any type of lens
correction, there are advantages and disadvantages to
monovision contact lens therapy. The benefit of clear near
vision in straight ahead and upward gaze that is available
with monovision may be accompanied by a vision
compromise that may reduce your visual acuity and depth
perception for distance and near tasks.
• Some patients have experienced difficulty adapting to
monovision contact lens therapy. Symptoms, such as mild
blurred vision, dizziness, headaches and a feeling of slight
imbalance, may last for a brief minute or for several weeks
as adaptation takes place. The longer these symptoms
persist, the poorer your prognosis for successful
adaptation.
• You should avoid visually demanding situations during the
initial adaptation period. It is recommended that you first
wear these contact lenses in familiar situations, which are
not visually demanding. For example, it might be better
to be a passenger rather than a driver of an automobile
during the first few days of lens wear. It is recommended
that you only drive with monovision correction if you pass
your state drivers license requirements with monovision
correction.
• Some monovision patients will never be fully comfortable
functioning under low levels of illumination, such as
driving at night. If this happens, you may want to discuss
with your eye care professional having additional contact
lenses prescribed so that both eyes are corrected for
distance when sharp distance binocular vision is required.
• If you require very sharp near vision during prolonged
close work, you may want to have additional contact
lenses prescribed so that both eyes are corrected for near
when sharp near binocular vision is required.
• Some monovision patients require supplemental
spectacles to wear over the monovision correction to
provide the clearest vision for critical tasks. You should
discuss this option with your eye care professional.
• It is important that you follow your eye care professional’s
suggestions for adaptation to monovision contact lens
therapy. You should discuss any concerns that you may
have during and after the adaptation period.
• The decision to be fit with a monovision correction is
most appropriately left to the eye care professional in
conjunction with you, after carefully considering and
discussing your needs.
