Laser Corneal Monovision (LASIK/PRK/SMILE)
This option can be considered when presbyopia affects near reading, the corneal thickness and shape are suitable for laser surgery, and monovision can be tolerated during contact lens trial. The decision is based on refractive error, corneal topography and tear film quality, binocular accommodation

How Laser Corneal Monovision (LASIK/PRK/SMILE) is performed
This approach uses a monovision strategy, optimizing one eye for distance and the other for near vision. The procedures can be LASIK, PRK, or SMILE. Typically, refractive and corneal parameters are measured first, and corneal stromal ablation or lenticule extraction is performed according to the plan to change refractive power and depth of field. Postoperative monitoring includes tear film, epithelial healing, and binocular fusion, with the goal of achieving functional blended vision in daily use. The above is general health information and not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocols.
