Is LAL+ getting any better?

A couple years ago, I was absolutely stoked to hear that LAL+ would be coming to Canada in 2024 (which was ultimately delayed until 2025 they told me). I made a consultation appointment in early 2025 thinking I'm all set to make a surgery appointment once all the final measurements are done, only to find out that my clinic isn't adopting the procedure at all based on sub-optimal results at other locations across the country. So on one hand I'm heartbroken but I also appreciate the fact they're taking the time to ensure it's safer.

From what I understand, the procedure started out in Europe, then the US, and finally to Canada. My questions: if the surgery is still getting a wide variety of results currently, was it even worse when it was first introduced? Are there any steps being taken to improve the results?

The lack of consistent results that I'm reading on this sub scares the hell out of me and I certainly can't afford multiple procedures. My goal is to be completely contact/glasses free and am willing to sacrifice a little bit of clarity in either my near or far vision for this.

Thank you all for posting your experiences on here.
