BTW, monovision is used for presbyopia. If you're not presbyopic, it wouldn't be option for you. Multifocal contacts might work well for latent hyperopia--you'd have to try them out.
mono vision therepy is not effective in all patients ,but if it works very good .
coz u have latents hyperopia ,you do not need eyeglasses aal the time ,only while u see anything constantly for sometime then u need eyeglasses.
monovision is a right choice for you .
I am not a doctor. I am a community leader here. I have a lot of experience helping eye patients, especially me.
Welcome to our community. Write back if your need to.
I used monovision contacts for a long time. No problems. Recently, the doctor encouraged me to get bifocals. I declined, because I lose a contact very often--has to do with not being able to see well. Bifocals are very expensive.
Besides that, I have always been very happy with monovision.

Dr. Hagan, JodieJ,
Thanks very much. I appreciate it.
There are two types of bifocal/multifocal contacts. The first type works like bifocal glasses, with near vision on the bottom of the lens and distance above. The second (simultaneous vision) type works like a multifocal IOL. I have tried both types of contacts as well as monovision. I strongly preferred monovision, which gave me the sense of having continuously good vision at all distances. But monovision doesn't work for everyone. My worst vision was the simultaneous type of multifocal contacts, which seemed to provide noticeably compromised (blurry) vision at all distances. (I tried soft multifocal contacts; the hard multifocals are supposed to work better.)
Others probably have different preferences than me. I don't think there's a consensus.
No there is no consensus.
