Blended Vision vs. Monovision LASIK for Reading Age
Part of Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study compares two laser eye surgery approaches for people over 40 who need reading glasses. Both methods use LASIK to reduce or eliminate your need for glasses, but they work differently—one eye may be set for distance and one for close-up (monovision), or both eyes may be adjusted for mixed vision (blended vision).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study is testing how well a specific laser eye surgery called PRESBYOND improves vision in people with presbyopia (age-related difficulty seeing close up). It helps see if the procedure is effective and safe for patients aged 45 to 65.
This trial tests a new treatment called the VIS Opti-K™ System to help people with presbyopia (age-related trouble seeing up close) see better without glasses. It uses a special lens to improve near vision in one eye while keeping distance vision clear.
This study tests a new light-based treatment for presbyopia (age-related trouble focusing on close objects) and near vision correction. It may help reduce the need for reading glasses by reshaping the cornea, the clear front part of the eye.
This trial tests a device that may help people who need reading glasses to see nearby objects more clearly without them. It could be an option if you have good distance vision but need help with close-up tasks like reading.
This study compares how people with presbyopia (age-related blurry near vision) feel about their quality of life when wearing single-vision glasses versus progressive lenses. It aims to see which type of glasses helps them see better and feel more satisfied.
This trial uses a special laser to adjust the light patterns in your eye after cataract surgery with a monofocal lens. It may help improve your near vision or reduce your prescription, so you may not need reading glasses or a strong glasses prescription.
