[QUOTE="dgpcpa, post: 2638030, member: 93459"] Well, I have followed this thread and put it aside for a while. I read the opening portion of the thread and became VERY interested. I have a church friend that is also an ophthalmologist and we were captive in a car trip to CO for a ski trip in 2022-02. So being captive in the car, we visited for quite a while discussing this surgery/procedure. He explained the LAL (Light Adjustable Lens) to me – in considerable detail. It sounded like something out of a futuristic novel. Then – I read the beginnings of this thread and my interest really peaked. I checked back with the Doc and he confirmed the benefits. Short story – your old lenses (cataracts) are removed and the LAL lens is put in their place. In about 2 weeks, you receive your first "adjustment." These lenses contain particles that are reactive to UltraViolet light. When hit with the right/prescribed UV light, the particles react essentially changing the shape of the lens – changing the prescription of the lens – tweaking your vision POST SURGERY. You get a second "adjustment" a week later and a third a week later still. Once you have all the adjustments allowed, the vision is "Locked in" with a final light treatment. I can only speak from part of the process. You see, I had both of my eyes done October 6[SUP]th[/SUP] – just 5 days ago. I'll go back for my first adjustment on the 25[SUP]th[/SUP]. I can already see as well today with no glasses as I could see with my Rx glasses prior to the surgery. And, I am told it will just get better from here. The LAL lens is a pricey option – but from what I understand – and am hearing – is well worth it. I'll try to update this post as mine progresses. [/QUOTE]
