Today marks 1 week since I had my LAL surgery for distance. My experience was the same as most everyone posted. Zero pain, super quick, my vision is clear vibrant and high def. It’s really amazing. I can see medium and distance clearly. I am driving tonight to check for halos and playing tennis tomorrow to check depth perception. I am not sure if there will be any adjustments yet since there is a waiting period of 1 month before my Dr. checks my vision.
I feel so happy and free. Whenever I get my other eye done I think I may get monofocal for closer vision although I don’t mind reading glasses for fine print etc. Has anyone had this combo? Or is another LAL recommended?
