monovision solution

If I choose monovision IOL's, can I have one eye at about 24 inches and the other far, then use readers for near?

Yes, you could choose any combination possible.  Make sure your brain can handle monovision first with some kind of trial first.

I have mini monovision. Both for distance  with one eye set a little stronger for distance.  My vision is great.  I only need readers for small print.  Discuss with you eye care professionals and see what they recommend for you specifically.

I am having trial contacts fitted Wednesday, hoping for good experience.

Good luck.  I wore monovision contact lenses for years and was very satisfied with them,they are amazing, but by the end of the day, I wanted them out. I would not have wanted that all the time.  Everyone is different and you may be the perfect candidate for them.  I wish you all the best.  Again, take your time befor making any decisions.

All the best to you.

The trial will be to see if I can see intermediate range with mini-mono.  I want to be able to read music on a stand and see the the conductor, I hope without glasses.  I don't mind having readers around for fine work.
Thanks for your comments.

The mini-mino  trial is a good idea.  I thinks (hopefully) you should do okay with them.


P.S.  What do you play?

I just had the contacts fitted.  Feels good so far, a little disappointed with distance.
