If you choose monovision, you might want to consult your eye care practitioner regarding vision correction for special situations:

• Some people are uncomfortable in situations with low illumination, such as night driving. If that is your concern, talk with your practitioner about prescribing an additional lens to correct both eyes for distance for those times when sharp distance vision is required. An alternative is a pair of glasses with additional power in the reading eye so that the combined power of your contacts and the spectacles match your distance prescription.
  
  
• If you require very sharp near vision, you might want to ask your practitioner for an additional lens to correct both eyes for close-up work. Or, to occasionally have the clearest vision for critical tasks, you may want to request supplemental glasses to wear over your monovision correction, converting the distance eye to a reading prescription so that you can use both eyes at near distance.

Contacts for distance; reading glasses for near vision.

The final option for correcting presbyopia is this: Wear contact lenses for distance, then slip some reading glasses over them for close-up work. Perhaps not the perfect answer, this option enables you to avoid the dreaded bifocal glasses. And that can still be a definite plus.
