  On the lasik website (I am researching laser eye surgery very thoroughly), they discuss the option for monovision. The procedure is basically to give the individual vision correction for near sightedness in one eye, and correction for farsightedness in the other.
In order to prepare the patient, they recommend the person wear two different prescriptions for an extended period to see if they can get use to living with monovision. what a crazy idea, I can only imagine the nausea felt due to having monovison. I wonder how many people opt for this? Do these people close one eye when they want to see far, and close the other when they want to see near?
I thought the whole laser surgery procedure was intimidating, but this option sounds ludicrous. Still, I'd be interested to know more... what other things could you do? One eye as a magnify glass? sheesh... Or laser a shape in your eye so everything has a heart shaped frame.... (believe it or not, I'm trying to stay within realistic options, I was going to suggest bono vision, or infrared but that's just being silly...)
