Monovision Technique 

Good news for bifocal wearers.  30-Day Continuous Wear Soft Contact Lenses can be fit in such a way that can eliminate your need for eyeglasses to see at any distance.  That’s right!  Most patients, whether nearsighted or farsighted, with or without small amounts of astigmatism, can be fit to see clearly far away and close up.  For these patients Dr. Gambino will use a classic fitting technique called ‘Monovision’. 

Monovision technique simply involves using the continuous wear soft contact lenses to correct one eye, usually the dominate eye, for distance vision, and the other eye, usually the non-dominate eye, for near vision.  At first glance, this may sound weird. However, the perceptual system in the human brain has a way of adapting to monovision.  Initially the vision is blurred and clear at the same time.  Over time the perceptual system teaches itself to ignore the blur and only pay attention to the clear images at any distance.  Every patient goes through their own adaptation process as they adjust to monovision.  Some patients immediately adapt and never see a blur.  Some patients take days or even weeks before they feel comfortable with their vision.  Most patients are happy with their vision within a day or two.  The longer you wear monovision, usually the clearer the vision gets.  Dr. Gambino is strongly dedicated to your success with monovision.  He will work with you for as long as it takes to have you happy with your results.  Sometimes changes must be made to find the right combination of lenses that will work for you. Finding the right combination can be a case of trial and error and sometimes can require several office visits. When you enter Dr. Gambino’s 30-day continuous wear soft contact lens program, there is never an additional charge for follow-up care or lens changes.  

It would not be unusual if you were to discover that several of your friends and acquaintances are already wearing monovision.  If you notice that someone you know is no longer using glasses to read or drive, chances are they are wearing monvision.  Dr. Gambino himself is a monovision wearer.  The great thing here is that the lenses can stay in your eyes for 30 days without removal.  Imagine having your vision back far away and close, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.  Imagine waking up and not having to reach for your glasses.  What freedom!  And now imagine having this done without surgical risk and huge expense.  Well you can stop imagining.  All of this is available for you right now at Gambino Eye Associates.
