Monovision coupled with the truevision (or whatever they are now called) oxygen permeable extended wear lenses are perfect.
They work well for about 60% of people. You do give up some depth perception and night vision though. Often I will dispense some distance only dailies with them so you have an option of better distance vision. Can also get glasses made up for over the contacts that will correct the distance vision in the near eye. That can help a lot with long periods of night driving.
