Question for those who have had LAL lens implantation after LASIK

Hi everyone,

I am 29 years old and currently facing cataract surgery due to worsening cataracts. I previously had LASIK, and from what I have gathered, the Light Adjustable Lens seems to be one of the recommended options because of the prior reshaping of my cornea.

I am hoping to hear from others who have had LAL implantation after LASIK. How are you doing post-operatively? Are you happy with your vision overall? Were there any unexpected challenges during the adjustment period or after the final lock-in?

I am a nurse, and I am starting to notice more difficulty with myopia at work. I often have to get fairly close to the computer when colleagues are showing me information. I also spend a lot of time gaming, enjoy being outdoors in the sun, and I am now having more trouble seeing far away, including blurry faces and distance vision.

I would especially love to hear from any gamers who have had LAL lenses. How has it affected your gaming experience, screen use, contrast, glare, halos, or overall quality of life? I would really appreciate hearing personal experiences, pros and cons, and anything you wish you had known before surgery.

Thank you!
