My eye doctor offered me the option of having a lens put in one eye so that I could read close up with the one eye and distance with the other.

I know a couple of people who tried that.  One is my aunt who really liked it (but now she doesn't wear contacts any more), and the other is a friend who didn't really like it and gave up on it.

Did your friend have the lens surgically removed?

He  said she doesn't wear contacts anymore.  I expect that means she did monovision with contacts vs surgery.

Oh...I didn't read your post correctly.  I was thinking that they were regular (removeable) contact lenses.

Yes...what Jane said.

Got it.

I would hope monovision was tried with contacts before making a decision to have it done surgically.

Basically I did nothing all day.

Good for you.

Yes, but that won't get this book finished

He didn't say anything about trying contacts first.  He just wanted to make sure I had the extra $1,500 it would cost for the lens.

That is why I think you were smart to decline monovision:)
