LAL+ Full Release Just Happened

jhs,

LAL is generally considered to be a monofocal lens that provides a bit of EDOF (not nearly as much as a multifocal IOL) ... so, it should be able to provide a type of mini-monovision if you can tolerate it.

LAL+, if you are a candidate, should be able to provide additional mid range.

It sound like you need to see an ophthalmologist and discuss the options. It sounds like you have not had refractive surgery, so likely have options, and likely these options depend on your specific eyes and their characteristics.
1. Both eyes long with LAL or LAL+
2. Both eyes short with LAL or LAL+
3. Monovision with one eye short and the other long with LAL or LAL+

I will note that even if I had your stated needs, I would probably pick either both long and wear glasses, if needed, for short, or some bit of monovision to allow one eye long and one short. Safety would be a concern - long vision provides a certain amount of personal safety that short vision would not - this is just an opinion.

Hi. I made note of your LAL surgery coming up in June. I hope you will share how it progresses. I am also concerned about the light adjustments - especially the 2 lock-ins. Thank you for posting.
