This recent evaluation of a large group of presbyopic patients who had undergone laser vision correction for monovision details the preoperative characteristics that are important in achieving success in LASIK monovision. It provides updated knowledge on the measures required for good patient selection and validates previous knowledge regarding monovision laser correction.
