In most cases, astigmatism is accompanied by myopia or hyperopia. Monovision is a contact lens fitting technique where one lens is prescribed for distance and the other for close-up vision. Both eyes work together to bring objects into focus. Your brain must interpret images you see and learns to select the sharpest image. Monovision has proven successful for people with mild cases, usually those in early stages of presbyopia.
Most patients adapt after some practice.
These lenses are intended to be worn for most waking hours and removed for sleeping. Contact any of our locations for wearing options available for disposable lenses.
