I got Lasik a few year ago. The procedure I selected was monocular (one
eyes near, the other far). Then I got glasses just so I could pass the
medical. I can see better without the glasses but can't quite pass without
them, so the regs say I have to wear them...) anyway, make sure you read the
most recent medical standard for the level you want. The new regs call for
a longer distance for the near reading then before and certainly longer then
the eye doctor normally corrects for reading. So bring the reg, show the
Dr. and make sure he follows that requirement, if you do that.

My experience.

I flew for years with USAF tri focals.

1. Distance on top
2. Instrument panel in middle
3. Read maps, etc on bottom

NEVER had any problem with the lines. With the tri focals I had the
best of all worlds.

Amen.

I fly a glass panel 182. Trifocals work great.
