Hi,

I have a general idea about mini-monovision. It seems to work well for most patients, but obviously there are some patients who just never adapt to it. What happens then? Can eyeglasses restore you back to binocular vision? And is it possible to have have something less than mini-monovision. like mini-mini-monovision so that maybe it would be easier to adapt to? I have dense cataracts and 2D of astigmatism. I am keeping it simple and just going with a monofocal lens. I have always worn eyeglasses and will keep wearing them. I am going for intermediate vision. My cataract surgeon suggested mini-monovision when we do my other eye a few weeks later. I wanted to go into detail about that with her, but like most doctors, she was in a hurry. As she left, I told her I would think about it. So, again, if I can't adapt to mini-monovsion, will eyeglasses restore me back to binocular vision? And is there something less than mini-monovison that would be easier to adapt to.. My thanks to you all.

    If my cataracts were not so dense and getting denser, I would wait to try the IC8. But yes, you would ideally want to see how well it performs when a large number of patients have worn it over a long period of time.
