I went with the LAL lens and am very happy with the results. The only frustrating part about the LAL lens is having to wear the UV-blocking glasses 24/7 (you take them off at bedtime) for a total of six and half weeks. You wear dark glasses when you’re outside and clear ones that have UV blocking protection coating when you’re inside. These glasses protect your eyes from exposure to all other sources of indoor and outdoor UV light, which can cause uncontrollable changes to the LAL lens. That was really inconvenient for me. I know many people who opted out of LAL lens for this reason. They did not want to deal with having to wear the UV-blocking glasses for a long period of time.
