| MONOVISION LASER VISION CORRECTION
(Laser for near/reading vision):
Exciting news for people over 40 years young! The FDA has approved customvue MONOVISION LASIK. This is an excellent option for people who wish to minimize their need to wear glasses for both reading and distance. If you read the medical literature, at about forty years of age, plus or minus two years, all of us begin to lose our ability to focus at near. The accurate term for this is presbyopia; it is a normal part of the maturation process. Tasks which we used to take for granted and used to be easy, such as reading a menu or our watch, become both challenging and frustrating. WHAT IS MONOVISION
MONOVISION is a technique in which your dominant eye (the eye you would take a picture with) is put in focus for distance and your non-dominant eye is put in focus for near (or reading) vision. People have been enjoying this for the last twenty to thirty years using contact lenses. Dr. Muller has been providing MONOVISION Laser Vision Correction for her patients for over a decade (as an "off-label' use of the laser). These patients are amongst her happiest patients. Every treatment in Dr. Muller's office is completely customized to each individual's needs and desires. Each person must have a contact lens trial in which they wear the contact lenses which mimic the intended treatment's prescription. Don't worry if you have no experience with contact lenses, Dr. Muller has a great, easy approach to the contact lens trial. While partaking in a contact lens trial each person has the opportunity to "try out" his or her laser treatment before it's actually performed. Once an individual feels certain that they love the intended correction, it can be lasered onto his or her eyes thereby freeing them from glasses maximally. This type of contact lens trial helps assure that each person will get the visual result they desire and also helps identify any person who doesn't feel comfortable with MONOVISION. Approximately 94% of people adapt readily to MONOVISION after a brief acclamation period. The technical term for this is neural adaptation. Simply stated, this means that the brain readily adapts to the eyes being in focus for two different distances; the individual enjoys being able to see well in the distance while being able to readily read something at near. This is truly one of the ways in which technology is helping to enhance the quality of people's lives by recapturing their sense of youth, freedom and vitality. Is MONOVISION for you?
