Does this work for both near- and far-sightedness?

Hi Ish, Your neighbor is very lucky. I ended up opting for a procedure that resulted in me having what is called Monovision. I had my dominant eye (right eye) totally corrected for long distance vision, and ended up with 20/25 vision in that eye. I had my left eye partially corrected to 20/45 because I am myopic, and if they had totally corrected the vision in that eye I would have required glasses to read. I read with my left eye and see long distances with my right. It took about 3 days to fully adjust to this phenomenon, and I sometimes still have to mentally adjust when I look up quickly from something that I am reading. Only 10% of the population are myopic, and those of us that are usually don't need reading glasses until we are well into our 70s. She's in a whole new world now. I understand completely. ;) M
