Light Adjustable Lens
Discover the Freedom of Personalized Vision with the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)
Cataract surgery can restore your vision by replacing the cloudy lens caused by cataracts. However, traditional lens implants often leave patients reliant on glasses for everyday activities like reading, driving, or using a computer. This dependence can feel restrictive when what you truly want is clear and effortless vision.
The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is a revolutionary choice offered during cataract surgery. It’s the only intraocular lens (IOL) that can be adjusted after implantation, enabling your vision to be tailored specifically to your lifestyle and needs. Enjoy the freedom of precise, sharper vision with less dependence on glasses.
What is the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)?
The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is a groundbreaking type of intraocular lens (IOL) used in cataract surgery or lens replacement procedures. Unlike traditional lenses, the LAL can be fine-tuned even after it’s been implanted in your eye. Developed by RxSight, the LAL uses light to adjust the shape and position of the lens, providing patients with a more customized, precise visual outcome.
Thanks to its adjustability, the LAL helps reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses, offering a more personalized solution to vision correction.
How Does the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) Work?
Once implanted during your cataract surgery or lens replacement procedure, the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is able to undergo fine adjustments to improve your vision. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how it works:
- Implantation: The LAL is placed in your eye during cataract surgery or lens replacement, just like a regular intraocular lens.
- Healing: After the procedure, your eye will heal as it would with any other lens implant. During this time, you will follow up with your doctor for progress checks.
- Adjustment: After healing, your doctor will use a special UV light to adjust the LAL, optimizing your vision for distance, near, or intermediate focus.
- Final Vision: After a series of adjustments, your vision will be fine-tuned to achieve clear, sharp sight with minimal dependence on corrective eyewear.
The ability to adjust the lens post-surgery provides a significant advantage in achieving the best possible visual outcome, tailored just for you.
Who is a Good Candidate for the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)?
The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is an excellent option for many individuals who are undergoing cataract surgery or lens replacement. The ideal candidates for this lens are those who:
- Are undergoing cataract surgery or lens replacement and want a personalized vision solution.
- Have a stable vision prescription that has not changed significantly in the last year.
- Want greater control over their visual outcome after surgery.
- Are looking to reduce or eliminate their reliance on glasses or contact lenses after their procedure.
The LAL is particularly beneficial for individuals who want the flexibility to make fine adjustments to their vision and are seeking a more customized visual result.
