I'm confused, you first say you had LAL IOLs in both eyes, and then mentioned monovision, could you please clarify? Is the LAL a monovision lens, I thought it was multi-focal.....but maybe not.

There are two RxSight products, LAL (monovision) and LAL+ (has a multifocal-like dot in the middle to enhance EDOF).

Either can be adjusted for whatever vision one wants - within design and within one's biological factors. ie to be the same distance, or near - or, for monovision. LAL+ was intended to be a panacea, but it has not been a perfect solution, especially for distance. Some surgeons like LAL for the dominant eye, and LAL+ for the non-dominant eye when targeting mono/blended vision.

My corneal curvature was too high for LAL+, so I received LAL in both eyes.

I am still in the adjustment phase - my dominant eye is adjusted for distance and is now plano with 0.25 cylinder - seeing 20/15 and J5-7 now, and my non-dominant is adjusted for near and is -2.00 and 1.00 cylinder (we will be adjusting the cylinder/astigmatism lower) - seeing 20/30 or 20/40 and J1 now.
