[quote=Anonymous]I use what optometrists call "modified" monovision.

With real monovision, one eye sees far and one near.

My self-created modified monovision means I get one contact that gives me perfect vision for distance, and one eye where my contact is just .5 less than ideal distance vision.  That eye gets me by for very casual, short duration near reading (looking at prices at the store, quickly looking at a calendar, quickly seeing who is texting me and replying, etc).

When I want to really read something like newspaper or computer, or phone for awhile, I use my Target reading glasses .  I have them with me all day.

It's not a perfect system, but the one eye with less than perfect distance correction gives me just enough functional reading to get by without constantly being blurry.  And the other eye dominates for distances.

The only downside is night driving.  That's when having the one eye not perfect does create some glare.  But I'm not driving much in the dark, and I can get by.

Forgot to mention that I have both prescriptions for the eye that does the reading.  I have one contact that is .5 less than perfect, as well as fully perfect distance prescription.  (I use RGPs).  I have gone back and forth, but I prefer to use the under-corrected lens.  That is the modified mono vision.[/quote]
