Factors influencing performance with monovision

Abstract only A variety of clinical factors that could influnce satisfaction and visual performance with monovision correction were examined. Sicty presbyopic subjetc were monovision for 8 weeks. The subjects' initial rating of monovision at the delivery consulation was significantly influnced by factors such as acuity loss, crossed dominace and pupil size. After 8 weeks of monovision wear, only stereoacuity loss at near was significantly correlated with the subjects' overall rating of vision, setreoacuity loss was also signoficantly correlated with satisfaction with other task-related aspects of vision performance and with monovision addition power. The results provide some indicators for potential monovision sucess.
