Hello Assistant. Monovision contact lenses are usually fitted with one eye for reading and close work, one eye for distance work. If you only need help with reading and close work can you just get one contact lens so you do not have to wear reading glasses? Likewise, if you only needed distance help could you get one lens for that?

Yes, it is possible to use monovision contact lenses with only one lens if you only need help with reading or distance vision. However, this would result in a condition known as monocular vision, which may affect depth perception and the ability to judge distances accurately. Monocular vision can also cause eye strain and fatigue, particularly when performing visual tasks that require extended periods of focus.

It is important to consult with an eye doctor to determine whether monovision or any other type of vision correction is appropriate for your specific needs. Your eye doctor can help determine the best treatment option based on your individual vision needs and overall eye health.
