| Options of Glasses and Contacts | Over spectacles: patients wear reading glasses aver the contact lenses, when they need to read something; in the same time they are completely satisfied with their distance vision contact lenses +: This variant of vision is rather convenient, because this way of vision provides the best possible vision at all distances, and both eyes work together. -: People must wear glasses; usually those who wear contact lenses don’t want to wear glasses at all.
Bifocal contact lenses: patients are satisfied with soft disposable or rigid gas permeable bifocal contact lenses. +: Patients don’t need to wear glasses at all, because contacts provide good distance vision, near vision and binocular vision, when both eyes work together as a team. -: Near vision is good to read a small print, but it is not sharp enough.
Monovision: people wear contact lenses, which have only one power. The dominate eye is focused on the distance objects, and the other eye is focused on the near things. +: This way provides very good near and distance vision. You don’t need to wear glasses at all. Your near vision is even sharper than if you wear bifocal contact lenses. -: While you wear monovision contacts you lose your binocular vision. You need some time to adjust to the difference between distance and near vision, that’s why sometimes it is rather difficult to define the speed and distance of moving objects, that is also because your eyes don’t work as a team.
