Brian,

If you need correction for both distance and near, your dominant eye (ie the one you would aim your camera/gun with) is corrected for distance; the other eye is corrected for near. This isn't a new idea. I (and other doctors) have been doing it for patients with contact lenses for decades and with LASIK for the last several years.

Monovision is not necessarily for everyone, but if it works for you it's a great solution for eliminating or at least dramatically reducing you dependence on glasses. Then non-prescription sunglasses can be used as needed.

There's nothing wrong with bifocals, stick on reading segs, etc, but you should consider all options.
