I had LASIK in both eyes 19 years ago. Vision has gotten worse in last year. I cannot have enhancement in my close-up eye. Can I wear glasses to improve monovision?
Discuss your options with your surgeon after a thorough exam. Assuming there is no underlying eye disease to blame, you should be able to wear glasses or contacts to improve your vision.
