Subject: I decided to try the monovision contacts

I asked if my eyes were too old. She told me that actually, I was a very good candidate for them. I didn't wear them yesterday since it was Chris' college move-in day and I didn't know if I was going to be crying and mess them up right off the bat.

I wore them for awhile on Saturday. She said to give it two weeks to decide whether I like them or hate them.

[> So are those single vision contacts rather than multi-focal? -- chezmere, 08:59:01 09/20/10 Mon [1] (adsl-75-56-213-192.dsl.lsan03.sbcglobal.net/75.56.213.192)

I stopped wearing contacts because funky gunk kept forming in my eyes & my eye sight kept changing, and the eye doc told me my sight was improving.
I only use my glasses now to see further away & I wouldn't drive without them (but I could). Please let me know this all goes for you - I am more than curious. Thanks.

..to go a couple iterations. I probably took 3-6 months before I was truly happy, but to me it's way worth it (but note I have horrendous correction of -11 and worse in both eyes, plus astigmatism in both). The far one was no problem but the close one - I ended up going standard lens w/o astigmatism correction because with the correction I couldn't read my monitor, where I spend all my time at work! The far one was fine; just like it would normally be, but we had to play a bit with the close one. I think I've been doing it about 3 years now and hope to do it as long as I can! I do have glasses for night and driving that I wear that brings the close out out far, as you lose some acuity during dusk or rain or night; the one lens is a blank, the other corrected to bring that eye out far. Worth the investment to me. FWIW. (And here I work for a company that makes contacts but can't wear ours!)

Make that it 'brings the close ONE out far', so yes, I wear glasses on top of contacts for driving, events like a baseball game, rainy days, nighttime outside, etc.
