Alternating vision for presbyopia - the monovision principle

(image: monovision-4-en-thumb.png link: monovision-4-en.svg class: align-right lightbox alt: Illustration of the Monovision concept) To compensate for the accommodation capability of the natural lens declining with increasing age and enabling clear sight both close up and at a distance, monovision treatment can be performed for patients with presbyopia. However, it is not suitable for everyone. In monovision treatment, in Germany also referred to as "Goetheblick" [Goethe vision], one eye is optimized for long-distance vision and the other for short-distance vision. This perspective which is unusual for most people is first simulated by contact lenses to ensure that you are able to handle it well. We are performing this treatment using a state-of-the-art eye laser procedure: ReLEx® smile. We have had better experiences with blended vision with which both eyes are able to see clearly at a medium distance.

What’s precious to you belongs in good hands
