Personalized Vision with Light Adjustable Lenses

After cataract surgery, many patients still find themselves relying on glasses or contacts for tasks like reading or driving. This can be frustrating when you expected to achieve clearer vision without glasses.

The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) offers a breakthrough solution. Unlike traditional lenses, the LAL allows for personalized adjustments even after your cataract surgery, providing you with the ability to fine-tune your vision to meet your specific needs. At DLV Vision, we offer this revolutionary technology to help you experience clearer, more precise vision, and enjoy life with less dependency on corrective eyewear.

What is the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)?

The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is an advanced type of intraocular lens (IOL) used during cataract surgery or lens replacement. Unlike conventional IOLs, the LAL gives your doctor the ability to adjust and fine-tune the lens after it’s implanted in your eye. This adjustment is made possible through the use of light, allowing for precise customization to meet your vision needs.

RxSight, the company behind the LAL, has created this innovative technology, offering patients an unmatched level of control over their post-surgery vision. The LAL provides significant advantages over traditional lenses by offering a more precise approach to vision correction, especially for those who are seeking clear vision at multiple distances.

How Does the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) Work?

After the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is implanted during cataract surgery or lens replacement, the lens is exposed to a special UV light. This light triggers changes in the lens material, allowing your eye care provider to make subtle adjustments over time. This process fine-tunes your vision for optimal results, so you can achieve the sharpest, clearest vision possible.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Implantation: The LAL is placed in your eye during cataract surgery, just like a regular intraocular lens.
  2. Adjustment Period: After the healing process, the LAL can be adjusted in your doctor’s office using a UV light treatment, allowing them to fine-tune your vision.
  3. Final Result: After a few treatments, your vision will be customized to the best possible clarity, helping you reduce your dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

What to Expect with the LAL Procedure

The process for receiving a Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is very similar to standard cataract surgery or lens replacement, with one key difference: after your lens is implanted, you’ll need follow-up visits to fine-tune your vision. Here’s what you can expect:

  1. Pre-Surgery Consultation: Your doctor will evaluate your eye health; vision needs and discuss the benefits of LAL.
  2. Surgery: The cataract is removed, and the LAL is implanted during a minimally invasive procedure.
  3. Healing Period: After the surgery, you will need some time to heal, typically about a month.
  4. Adjustments: Once your eye has healed, you’ll visit your doctor for a series of UV light treatments to fine-tune your vision.
  5. Final Outcome: Once the adjustments are complete, you’ll enjoy clear, customized vision with minimal dependence on corrective eyewear.

The LAL process is safe, precise, and tailored to your unique vision needs.
