Review of Ophthalmology: The Multiple Sides Of Monovision

It is possible to increase depth perception safely only up to 1.5 diopters without influencing vision quality, contrast sensitivity or twilight vision.

Blended Vision differs from monovision in that your two eyes are more similar to each other [up to 1.5 diopters difference], whereas with monovision your two eyes are set from 1.5 diopters to 3 diopters difference.
