Why don't you go for both?

I had Lasic surgery 20 yrs ago, and I opted for monovision.

At the time I wore contact lenses for nearsightedness, so what I did was, for a week, I continued to put the corrective lens in my dominant eye, and did not put the corrective lens in the non-dominant eye. It took two to three days for my brain to adjust, and I thought it was a very easy transition.

Recently I've been noticing I need to use cheaters for some close up reading, but it's been yrs and things change. I was, and still am, very happy with monovision.

How Monovision Works

Most people have a dominant eye (one that you prefer to see with if you had to close one eye). With monovision, the vision in your dominant eye is corrected for distance vision, while your other eye is intentionally left somewhat nearsighted to allow you to see close objects. Both eyes still work together, allowing you to see clearly at any distance. While this way of seeing may sound complicated, many people find they adapt well to this technique. In fact, with both eyes open, they may not be able to tell which eye is set for distance and which is set for near.
