won't get a true experience due to the cataract.
Dr. Kugler also cautioned against monovi-
sion/blended vision in eyes that are compro-
mised in any way because "each eye has to be
able to carry the weight of a certain distance by
itself." Additional examples include eyes with
strabismus or keratoconus.
"I think you need to be very careful with
blended vision because you're asking each eye
to function independently. If the eye is not capa-
ble of doing that, it's probably not going to be a
successful result," he said. Dr. Kugler also said
there are patients who simply cannot adapt to
monovision. "There are patients who I think ar-
en't great candidates for blended vision but they
are good candidates for bilateral multifocals.
That's absolutely on the list of options."
