[QUOTE="EatonEggbeater, post: 15924292, member: 8939"] Get your eyes done best for all daily activities and deal with reading glasses when the need comes along. Don't compromise your vision to avoid reading glasses; they're not that much of a problem, and you may not need them for awhile. (backstory; got lasik (PRK, actually) in 2002 in my 40's, LOVE IT. Just recently need reading glasses 1.50, (I'm 54), and only when I'm soldering boards or making cables. Small work, if the light isn't good. I don't yet need them to actually read, and I'm not holding the books all that far away.) BTW, reading glass need is caused by presbyopia, where the lens in your eye loses elasticity. It affects nearly everyone at some time, starting in your 40's. The lens doesn't go thick enough when looking close. Some people aren't affected at all, although this is rare. Monovision sounds to me like all of life is compromised in an effort to avoid something that's normal and natural. My brother got it done that way, and still needs reading glasses. [/QUOTE]
