It doesnt seem that Marcia is listening to me and the doctors here. She is going to be miserable fiddling with the monovision she cant tolerate. Even my own mother prefers to wear progressive glasses rather than monovision contacts. She can read without glasses but only at very close distances, too close for comfort really. Why cant Marcia just stick with glasses? She will be much happier! > Are you seriously suggesting that somebody swap contacts every time they > want to change from seeing near to far and vice versa? She only has to swap them out when driving. The rest of the time she is reading. The other option is she get two pairs of glasses if she doesnt like bifocals/progressives. A third option is she wear contacts for near and put her glasses on for distance. > That word "undercorrects" really bothers me. I wear glasses that undercorrect me so I am in focus at computer distance. She can wear contacts that undercorrect her so shes in focus at reading distance. If she reads at 16 inches, she needs a -2.5 undercorrection then she can have -2.5 glasses made to wear when she drives back home from work. Problem solved! If Marcia would read this and listen, she wouldnt be having that problem! > Not sure what "fully correct" means either, but it doesn't bother me so > much. Corrects her to 20/20, or whatever her BCVA is. > > Presbyopia is not a problem for myopes, > > There are millions of people who would be happy to hear that. > Unfortunately, that won't help them see. Yes it will. For low and moderate myopes, all they have to do is take their glasses *off* when reading like I do. High myopes may find it impratical except for reading tiny print. Therefore they can wear glasses or contacts that corrects all but -2.5 of their myopia so they can read at 16 inches all day like Marcia does. also, Marcia, Cant you just get some bifocal or progressive glasses or two pairs of contacts, one that undercorrects both eyes for reading and another pair to fully correct for distance? Presbyopia is not a problem for myopes, I have mild presbyopia and im not affected by it. Just trying to help. Do you like those suggestions? Ace, Thank you for taking the time to respond to my posts. I do truly appreciate that. But very early on, maybe a month or so ago, I did respond about the glasses and the swapping, and also about the suggestion for switching pairs of contact lenses throughout the day. Perhaps you missed those answers, but in short, No, that won't work for me. Again, thank you for taking the time to write. I am not sure where you get the idea that I am "not listening to the doctors here." If you feel that way, you are completely within your rights to no longer take the time to respond, I won't be offended.

There however is one important thing you didnt try. You have tried monovision to undercorrect one eye and it didnt work for you. What about undercorrecting BOTH eyes? Before you say "no" let me explain that you read all day. You need to see clearly from near. Since you dont want to switch contacts, you can have a thin pair of glasses made for driving to work and back. On the weekend when your off from work, wear contacts that correct both eyes fully for distance and bring readers just in case(youll need them for anything less than 2 to 6 feet depending how much accomodation you have left and how much blur you tolerate at near.) By the way have you tried multifocal contacts? If you have and they dont work and if monovision doesnt work, your last option is what I suggest above. > Ace, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Marcia Marcia, in case you are unaware, Ace is a retard.
