My re-visit I saw a different eye doctor and she listened to my complaints about the Mono Vision and tried a few new hand-held lenses for my left eye and finally adjusted my prescription and got me a new left-eye contact to put in. Voila! Magic!<\/p>\n<p>She says I have 20\/20 vision now with this change, which is unusual, difficult to achieve in Mono Vision contacts wearing. I can see far and nearer much better, no more wobbly weirdo feeling about it, conflicted in what I was seeing or feeling I was seeing a-times. As I put it when reading some lines for her, I could see them better, but more-so I felt CONFIDENT to say what I was seeing. A vast improvement.<\/p>\n<p>I am able to read books now with my contacts in, have to still come to terms still with using one eye or the other as my main eye for different tasks, but it&#8217;s easier now to do so since one eye is much better than the other for this or that, no conflicting information any longer as I was having with my first week of Mono Vision contact wearing. It&#8217;s just a practice of which for what that I need to hone in on, closer work being the thing that matters here, not basic looking at the world, just the closer things like books, computers, things right nearer to a bit further, but still close, that need inspection. Right or left, not both or the other, but a focus with left being weird to automatically choose for close, and then switching to only right for further away close after that, being harder. That&#8217;s the best I can explain it in, it&#8217;s a trial and error approach to functioning, but the vision I get with things is good in other words, just need that bridge to change HOW I view things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wrote about my new contacts the other day and now have an update.
