I have had 1 "locking down" procedure and I go in for my final "Lock down" procedure this Wednesday. After that I won't need to fear UV rays any longer. Since my lenses are adjustable I needed to wear clear protective glasses while inside and darkened while outside.
Both the optometrist and surgeon (who is doing everything) agree that I'm at the point of being corrected as good as it's going to get and I'm with my range of vision. There have been no warnings (and I have asked) regarding my vision shifting or other effects that may crop up with time.
I'm not sure why you want to wait so long between procedures but that's obviously up to you and the advice you receive from your doctor. I'm just happy that it's almost done and I can return to normal. I'd have to say I'm extremely happy with the results. It's nice doing different things throughout the day and never having to wonder where my glasses are. Because of the focal lengths I picked, I will need glasses for reading. But for right now, I can do all my computer work, drive and enjoy the outdoors without any help.
Adjustable implants is an interesting idea. I don't beleive mine are adjustable. My first eye came up to 20/30 in the first few weeks and my second one to a little better, but the images from both looked a little grainy. We made some spectacles to try to improve me near 20/15 and the graininess was resolved and my distance vision is pretty darn good. But now, sometimes my distance without the specs is better than my distance vision with the specs.
