CustomVue Monovision LASIK is the first LASIK device designed for the treatment of one eye to see far away objects and the other eye for close up vision.

[CustomVue Monovision LASIK produces monovision correction in nearsighted (myopic) adults, with or without astigmatism, ages 40 years or older with normal age-related loss of ability to focus on near objects (presbyopia).]

Now, the device has been cleared for marketing by the FDA.

[LASIK, or laser in-situ keratomileusis, is a procedure in which the surgeon cuts a flap in the outer layers of the cornea, removes a small amount of the tissue beneath it with the laser, and then replaces the flap.]

Manufactured by AMO/VISX Inc., based in Santa Clara, California, CustomVue Monovision LASIK has been approved by the FDA based on the review of a clinical study of safety and effectiveness outcomes submitted by the company.
