Abstract

Monovision, though in common usage, is a misnomer; blended vision may be a better term. Pseudophakic monovision is one of the most commonly used modalities for the management of presbyopia in cataract patients. Because of its high quality of image contrast, high yield of spectacle independence, low cost, and low intraocular lens (IOL) exchange rate, it can and should be the starting point for most novice refractive cataract surgeons. This chapter will focus on some commonly asked questions with the goal of helping beginners engage and do well with a solid foundation in refractive cataract surgery. More details can be found in our previous publication, Pseudophakic Monovision: A Clinical Guide. 1 IOL monovision is not going to disappear in the United States and worldwide even when we have more, and, better, IOLs in the future. With the knowledge and skills of IOL monovision, the road to refractive cataract surgery will be much wider. It will also make other premium IOL practices easier with more flexibility.
