You should be aware that as with any type of lens correction, there are advantages and compromises to
presbyopic contact lens correction. The benefit of clear near vision in straight ahead and upward gaze
that is available with VISTAKON
® (galyfilcon A) Contact Lenses for 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. Symptoms, such as mild blurred vision and variable
vision, may last for a brief period or for several weeks as adaptation takes place. The longer these symp-
toms persist, the poorer your chances 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 that 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 monovi-
sion correction.
• Some presbyopic patients require supplemental spectacles to wear over the VISTAKON ® (galyfilcon A)
Contact Lenses for monovision, to provide the clearest vision for critical tasks. You should discuss
this with your Eye Care Professional.
• Some presbyopic 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
binocular vision is required.
• It is important that you follow your Eye Care Professional’s suggestions for adaptation to presbyopic
contact lens correction. You should discuss any concerns that you may have during and after the
adaptation period.
• The decision to be fit with monovision correction is most appropriately left to the Eye Care
Professional, in conjunction with you, after carefully considering and discussing your needs.
