Experience Monovision with 3D Virtual Reality
MONOVISION WITH VIRTUALENS
What Is Monovision with Cataract Surgery?
Monovision corrects one eye for distance and the other for near vision, which may reduce the need for glasses. While many patients adapt well, the visual difference can be hard to understand before surgery.
VirtuaLens allows patients to experience monovision before surgery, helping surgeons determine whether it is the right option.

Benefits of Experiencing Monovision Before Surgery
- Improve Patient Understanding
- Increase Decision Confidence
- Enhance Consultation Quality
- Reduce Post-Surgery Surprises
Why Simulate Monovision?
Patients can experience the differences between distance and near focus rather than trying to imagine them.
Why Monovision Can Be Difficult for Patients to Understand
During a cataract consultation, surgeons often describe monovision using diagrams or explanations. However, because monovision changes how the eyes work together, it can be difficult for patients to imagine how it will feel.
VirtuaLens changes that conversation by allowing patients to experience the difference instantly in virtual reality.

FAQs
Got questions? We’ve got you covered.
Can patients really experience monovision before surgery?
VirtuaLens allows patients to see simulated visual scenarios designed to help them understand how monovision may affect their daily activities.
Does this replace clinical testing?
No. VirtuaLens is designed to support the consultation process by helping patients visualize different options.
How long does the experience take?
Most simulations take only a few minutes and can easily fit into the consultation workflow.
Can monovision be tested before cataract surgery?
Yes. Traditionally surgeons use contact lenses or trial frames. VirtuaLens allows patients to simulate monovision instantly during the consultation using immersive VR.
Is monovision better than multifocal lenses?
It depends on patient preference and visual needs. Some patients prefer monovision because it reduces halos associated with some multifocal lenses. Others prefer multifocal or EDOF lenses. VirtuaLens helps patients compare these options.
How do surgeons determine if a patient will adapt to monovision?
Traditionally through contact lens trials. VirtuaLens provides a fast simulation during the consultation.
