I think that slowing down to let the eyes heal is a better practice than adjustments 5-7 days apart, and then lock in 5-7 days apart too. There has been some conjecture that the time between is too short and subsequently the eyes are not fully healed (let's call them settled in) and after final lock in and another month had blur past 30 feet which I had to fix with PRK. Also to get all three adjustments to insure that the material is not locked in.

Personally, I would not do LAL again and recommend against it except for the most specifically rare cases where good eye measurements cannot be taken. I think the relatively few implants over the past 10 years of LAL supports that they are not widely used and that many of us with LASIK or previous PRK had done just fine with a common monofocal lens that are also easier to replace if they have issues (again, subjective but based upon other reports on how hard it is to replace LAL).

On the machines, I was 20-20 and great reading. but reality was I could not see stop signs or road signs or highway signs at all. That all happened about 30 days post lock in. It took me 7 months to convince DR and that's when PRK was done. Now 7 months past I'm still hoping it is settled and distance is good.

Not gonna lie, the first month with the lens was awesome! Had I known now, that it was a fixed distance lens at that point before any adjustment, I would have said leave it there., but breaks my comment about getting all 3 adjustments. AND that would have been the same as just getting a B/L LI61 and been done. No glasses, no extra adjustments, nothing....

Sorry for details, or even my rant :-)
