LAL+ Full Release Just Happened

I'll update as I go through the process.

Non dominate left is on 5 Jun, followed by dominate right on 12 Jun.

My goal is to be completely free of glasses - as I was following PRK. The logic says (1) use LAL to prevent surprises with the previous PRK, then (2) monovision since this is the only way to avoid glasses. In virgin eyes, it might make sense to consider Clearview 3 or some other EDOF or multifocal.

Can't yet find much on difference in outcomes between LAL and LAL+ ... except mention by a youtube ophthamologists at an Austin clinic who noted in passing their patients didn't report much of a difference between the two. I'm OK with the caution I've seen from my surgeon - he checked with a few colleagues and RxSight before telling me why he could not use LAL+.

Couple of recent articles.

Those are excellent articles. I have watched so many YouTube(s) - and read all the comments. I am excited for you, and appreciate your willingness to share your LAL journey, I wish I could talk to some patients in Kansas City who have had the LALs implanted.
