Wow, I didn't even know they had bi-focal contact lenses.

I'm guessing the reason the Doctor never mentioned them is because I have a stigmatism as well which requires large sized contact lenses.

Concerning Lasik, the Doctor I had indicated he had a lot of experience with Lasik in his previous job and he thinks the procedure is awesome. He indicated the "standard of care" is not to recommend Lasik to a patient until they have has at least two years without any changes to their eyesight - they want to make sure the patient's eyesight is stable.

The Doctor indicated that the Lasik process can provide a patient with monovision if that's what they want but he cautioned that the patient really needs to be sure that's what they want since so many of his contact lens patients end up not liking monovision.
