Contact lenses - different distance correction in each eye? For anyone who wears or who has tried to wear contact lenses that correct for distance vision in one eye and close vision in the other -- did you or do you like them or not and why? It is called monovision. If you are or have ever worn them, you will know that you did. http://www.allaboutvision.com/contacts/bifocals.htm "With monovision, you wear one contact lens with one power to correct distance vision and the other contact lens with one power to correct near vision. The distance vision lens is usually worn in your dominant eye." I have heard of and read about some problems with them and am hoping for some people who have personal experience with them. damond h - Thanks for the info on bifocal lenses. That is another option, of course, and I appreciate your comments.
