Monovision

Am interested in laser eye surgery and monovision has been suggested.
Am -4.00 in left eye and - 4.75 in right. Would like to try contacts
first to see if monovision suitable. What prescription would be right
for me?

Subject: Dense remarks about mono-vision.

You are norally prescribed for "Best Visual Acuity",

The -4 and -4.75 will give you 20/20 in both eyes.

But with presbyopia (with age) you will lose some
near vision.

The intention of monovision is to give you near vision
in one eye, with the other with 20/20.

One way would be to continue with the -4 diopter,
and get a -3.75 diopter for the other eye.

This would give you approximately 20/70 in that
eye, but with both eyes open, perhaps 20/20,
because the brain selects over-lays the two
images, and selects the sharper.

Thus you might request that one eye be "reduced"
in power by about 1 diopter.

This should give you reasonable near vision (with
the -1 diopter under-prescription, and excellent
vision with both eyes open.

And you are correct to "test" the concept
in this manner. Some people like it -- others
can not stand it.

As always, you can expect that I will be
"attacked", because of this review.
Notice, they just gave you no meaningful
discussion AT ALL.

Maybe they will "wake up" now and give you
a more complete review.

Enjoy,

Otis

Mike, I think that by 'prescription' this man was not referring to an
Rx, but rather a general solution. The sarcasm was quite unnecessary.

Finally, you included a disclaimer before you spewed out your usual
garbage!

Since you seem to be in the mood to answer questions, Uncle Otie, how
about answering these:

www.nbeener.com/NDB_OSB_Qs.txt

To the original poster: Otis is dangerous, ill-informed, dishonest,
and ANYTHING BUT an eye care professional.

He has HARMED numerous people by his advice on the internet. It's
best simply to ignore him.

You can get some good information about monovision, conceptually,
here:

Good luck.

respect.

What amount of myopia (nearsighted, shortsighted) vision in the
undercorrected eye is best for monovision will depend greatly on your
personal desire. Your eye doctor will probably start with about a 1.50
diopter undercorrection and then adjust up or down per your
preference.

After you have tried monovision contacts for several weeks you will
know if monovision works for you - it does not for everyone - and then
you can consider monovision Lasik or whatever surgery your doctor
recommends.

Who are you to lecture him about respect?

You know nothing of the word, you snobbish brat.

Go play with Otis privately, please.

YOU go play with your multiple imaginary personalities in private,
please.

You have already concluded that talking to the people on s.m.v. is
useless and futile, so what are you still doing here? Go play with
your own.

You have already realized that neither Neil nor you (or any of your
ever-growing identities) is appointed to be in charge of this NG, so
please apply this realization to yourself before you preach it to
others.

I am always greatly entertained to read your posts, Brainy -- the
number of idiotic hypocrisies contained within them is truly amusing.

Was it not you, who so very recently made this statement?

"I have no intention to respond further to his crap. I did not come
here to wrestle with big pigs. My time is too valuable."

Poor memory? Poor Brainy.
