Finally got myself to docs to check eyes. All's good, other than I need specs. Okay. I pretty much suspected that. No news to me.

Left eye is far weaker than right. I knew that already. Again, no surprise there.
He prescribes to me contacs, which is by preference, however, sets me up with a procedure which is called "Mono Vision". Anyone hear of this, let alone use it?

It's a procedure that allows the dominant eye the prescription for distance, and the weaker eye a prescription for close vision.
Now, I always thought that that was what bi-focal contacs were for, which is what I had suggested. But doc tells me this "mono" procedure has proven to work out quite well.

Seems to me that, the weaker eye will try to compensate to the stronger, thus resulting in headaches...doc assures me not the case.
I got the contacs today. Guess I'll have to just wait this out and see for self.

I was just wondering if anyone has tried this "mono" procedure and if it's worked for them.
