June 2026, Northern Florida. I am paying $5775 for each eye for second generation LAL lenses, plus the surgery and facility fees. (Second generation means that the UV protective glasses are less critical indoors unless standing near a window with sunlight streaming in.)

I just finished the first surgery and will go back in two weeks for the second, plus all the follow up visits.

I am grateful for the information in this video and everyone's comments.

Just had an eye exam and told I need cataract surgery. I have been very nearsighted all my life, about - 5.0 diopters. The Ophthalmologist suggests taking me to about -2.5 diopters. He said I would still need glasses but my intermediate and close vision would be a bit clearer. I was surprised that he would say that, most people I know use monocular lenses and go to Plano or close to it and use reading glasses. I have had no previous eye surgeries. I would love your thoughts, even in brief. Thank you

I am in the “adjustment” phase of the LAL lenses.  I’ve had one adjustment last week and heading in for an evaluation this week to see where we go from here.  I had RK in the mid 90’s.  So far, I am very happy with the progress. I do wear the UV glasses all the time even though I was told I didn’t have to wear the clear inside.  I don’t feel wearing the glasses is a big deal considering the end result should be no glasses once the lenses get locked in.  Ask questions before surgery.  You are paying a premium and should feel comfortable with the surgeon and the answer to your questions.

I am 78. Had CK (not RK) done around 2002. I just had cataract surgery and had mono focal lenses. I had one eye for reading and one for distance. So far, so good. I do not need glasses although I did order a pair of distance glasses for night driving with anti glare. My distance vision is ok, considering I  have one eye set for reading. I am happy with the result and it was all covered by insurance.

Brilliant video! Thank you!

i don't have a comparison but with astigmatisim glacoma the Toric lens did not have the ability to fine tune it if I was not happy with initial operation, Id be stuck with that.   I am amazed at the LAL. The depth of field the contrast is amazing.  I haven't seen this well since I was a child...The process of having to wear UV blocking glasses for 4-8 weeks is a pain...But is totally worth it.. My hats off to Dr Tamara Wyse and her staff...Can't wait till the lock in period so I can test drive these lenses and get back to new adventures!

Thank you for the information.   I am a high myope 18:26 18:26  with significant astigmatism.   I am sure my globes are significantly elongated, because I can still accommodate clearly almost to my nose at age 68.  My retinas are healthy.  I believe the light adjustable lens is a good fit for me.  It is amazing to me that I may have 20/30 or better distance vision after 58 years of myopia correction.

I'm 58 years old.  Had Lasik 25 years ago. Have astigmatism.  Had detatched retina 6.5 years ago in one eye. Had detatched retina in orher eye 4 months ago.  My vision is super blury. I am seeing a doctor in 3 weeks. What (as far as you can tell) is my best option. Right now I have progressive lenses.

Yes, Hello. I use 2.75 readers for everything. I am 58 and in average health. What would you suggest as the best option for fixing my presbyopia and hopefully getting rid of my readers for good? I learned alot from this video about our eyes. You have a wonderful delivery and way of instruction. Thanks for your time.

AI generated. That uncanny feeling... though the content itself about uv finetuning is interesting.

Fantastic video and very informative. I have been diagnosed with cataract on both eyes. My right eye is being operated on first and four weeks later in my left eye. I like to wear eyeglasses I guess as a fashion statement I am nearsighted and I have astigmatism. My question is should I have my lens made for both reading and near and just wear glasses with dummy frames? I’d appreciate any help you can get me and I am 75 years of and have worn glasses since I was 12 years old thank you very much.

Loved the video - learned a lot. Few questions to go before I choose a lens.  I have eliminated LAL for the reasons that you mentioned.  My concern is that my exam today shows the start of Macular Degeneration.  The surgeon I visited today is suggesting the Tecnis IOL.  Seems reasonable since it will correct distance and mid distance with occasional glasses needed for the small print. Not sure if MD gets worse after surgery or not since it is there. Does it get worse?  I'm 68 with no history of eye surgeries and just started needing glasses regularly about 2 years ago.  Is the Tecnis Pure See Iol lense ok with Macular Degeneration?  Im not too concerned about cost.  Is the lense my Dr. suggested considered EDOF or Mono?  A bit confusing on day 1 here.  Thank you in advance.)

I had lasik 21 years ago because of this toric lens are not recommened . My eyes are also dry . Would  LAL lens work for me

I'm considering Refractive Lens Exchange this year.  In early 2025, I visited a surgeon to better understand my options, but I was not fully informed prior to my visit. I've had LASIK in my left eye only back in 2000, and my goal for the potential RLE Surgery is to get rid of glasses.  The surgeon in question suggested a PanOptix in one eye and an LAL in the other with the LASIK.  I'm hearing a lot of good things about the Envy MF Lens.  Would the Envy not work for an eye that's had LASIK, as I'd prefer to have the Envy MF in both eyes?

Is the success rate for LAL really believable when some doctors do not acknowledge real issues nor contact the maker of the lenses to see what went wrong?

Very helpful. Pre-op consult/measure coming up this week. Monofocal probably makes the most sense for me, depending on the severity of astigmatism.

The maximum number of adjustments is four, not five.  And even that requires permission from RxSight.

Had LAL last month
Had PRK in 90s
Wanted to get rid of readers so took out a loan for $13,000 since insurance doesn’t cover these lenses
Distant vision clear like it use to be but
Readers still required was 2.75 before now 1.5
Worth it? Not for me

I'm willing to wear reades bt want good mid-range and distance vision.  I have a macular "wrinkle" and dop on eac eye.  I had a detached retina, branch vein occlusion, and retinal tear on my Left eye.  How much benefit would I get rom LAL's.? I have been near-sighed all my life.

Thank you for your honest recommendation. Who would you recommend LAL+ to? Can you also categorize who to recommend LAL+ over LAL or other IOLs?
