I'm definitely ready for cataract removal. I was reading about LAL, but I guess I'm not ready, since very few people have had this and wonder what is complication rate. I'm a high myope, so I might not be eligible. My cousin had bifocal lens implants and is not happy. I do a lot of close work, so I'm considering having lens to help with close vision and I will continue to wear glasses for distance. I've heard about having one eye with close lens and one eye with distance, has anyone had an experience with this option?

1995,

LAL has been around for tens of thousands, perhaps more, in the US, and many, many more than that in Europe where they have been implanted for about 15 years. Did you read somewhere that very few people had these implanted?

I've not read much about bifocal IOLs, but many, many multifocal have been implanted - maybe millions? They have their own issues - lots of online reading is available.

Monovision - millions have this, both with IOLs and from LASIK and PRK. Again, millions of folks have this construct. Lots of reading available online.

Try a search like - "study analysis 2023 interocular lens results monofocal multifocal light adjustable lal edof extended depth of focus"
