    Monovision contact lens correction remains controversial. This paper reviews patient safety, visual efficiency, and practitioner liability concerns associated with this long-standing modality.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Optometry
    • Vision Science

    Background:

    • Monovision contact lens correction has been a subject of debate for over three decades.
    • Significant concerns persist regarding its application and outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To critically evaluate the major issues and controversies surrounding monovision contact lens correction.
    • To assess monovision in the context of patient safety, visual performance, and legal considerations for practitioners.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and synthesis of existing research on monovision contact lenses.
    • Analysis of clinical data and case studies related to monovision outcomes.
    • Examination of professional guidelines and legal precedents concerning contact lens prescriptions.

    Main Results:

    • Identification of key areas of concern including visual adaptation, binocularity, and patient satisfaction.
    • Assessment of risks versus benefits concerning visual efficiency and functional vision.
    • Evaluation of practitioner liability in prescribing and managing monovision correction.

    Conclusions:

    • Monovision presents a complex challenge balancing visual needs with potential risks.
    • Further research and clear guidelines are needed to ensure patient safety and optimize visual outcomes.
    • Practitioners must carefully weigh the benefits against potential complications and legal implications.
