This need may be restricted to driving at night, participating in a visually demanding sport or viewing some entertainment event. Many of these patients will benefit from enhancement, but it is important to wait for stability. Other patients will suddenly have symptoms of presbyopia. Whatever the specific need, it is important for patient satisfaction to provide a prescription for glasses or contact lenses. My experience is that such patients are very appreciative of the time you spend making sure they have adequate vision.
Some patients just refuse to wear glasses.
Many of these individuals benefit from a temporary contact lens. In some cases, patients will be satisfied with the correction for special activities to the point they will decide to forego enhancement. This will avoid a misunderstanding that could result in an unhappy patient who would have been otherwise satisfied. It is important to avoid setting arbitrary vision levels for enhancement. Biological diversity dictates that some eyes will be undercorrected and some overcorrected, regardless of who does the surgery.
