Monovision cataract surgery is a specialized technique where one eye is corrected for distance vision and the other for near vision, providing a balanced solution for people who want to reduce their dependence on glasses after surgery. In this approach, an intraocular lens (IOL) for distance is implanted in the dominant eye, while a lens optimized for near or intermediate vision is placed in the non-dominant eye. This setup allows the brain to blend the visual input from each eye, creating functional vision for most daily tasks without switching between multiple pairs of glasses. However, adjusting to monovision can take time, as it requires adapting to a new depth perception and some patients may still experience halos or glare in low light. It’s often recommended to test monovision with contact lenses before surgery to ensure compatibility. For those who adapt well, monovision cataract surgery offers a convenient way to achieve clearer, multifaceted vision. https://healthywz.com/monovision-cataract-surgery/
