Mono Vision Contact Lenses VS Bifocal Contacts, do you have any experience with either or both?

Susanne W asked:
I am currently “trying” to work with mono-vision contact lenses. I have worn them for 5 days, and find them very difficult to see with. One lens is for close up, the other is for distance. Its difficult to adjust, and I am having no luck. I normally wear bi-focal glasses. I am looking for suggestions or your own personal experience with either or both of these contact lens methods.

It is definitely hard to get used to monovision contacts. Sometimes it takes a couple of adjustments to get your vision acceptable. Hopefully your doctor scheduled a follow-up visit. If not, go back and let them know what problems you are having. If you are unable to adapt to monovision there are bifocal contacts that are available- but it depends on your prescription. And some people will wear contacts for distance only and then wear readers as needed. But dont give up yet!! Hope this helps!

you just have to try both and see which method works better for you. they each have their pros & cons.
some people with some Rx’s and visual demands swear by monovision, while others just LOATHE it and much prefer multifocals. no good way to predict what *YOU* will like better until/unless you try both. one is not “better” than the other. they are just different.

I am also getting adjusted to mono vision, however I have to wear only one lense as I have 20/20 distance in my right eye. I have been wearing it only for 2 days, I don’t think 5 days is enough time, from what my Dr. told me, I am having some problems also with blurred distance vision now, but they say as your brain adjusts your vision will clear. Lets keep trying.
