Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL)
Light Adjusted Lenses (LAL)
The First And Only Lens That Can Be Customized After Cataract Surgery
What Is The LAL?
The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is a customizable intraocular lens (IOL) placed in your eye (instead of a regular IOL) during cataract surgery. This adjustable IOL puts you in control of your vision after surgery. Your surgeon will work with you to adjust your lens prescription up to 3 times after surgery to optimize your focus and reduce dependence on glasses! Unlike other lenses, you no longer hope your vision will be great. Now you can test drive your vision and fine tune it.
How the Light Adjustable
Lens works
After your surgery, you will have a follow-up appointment to assess your vision. This helps determine the best adjustment for optimal results. Your eyes will be dilated, and the focus of the lens adjusted using the Light Delivery Device. The adjustment process involves directing ultraviolet (UV) light into the IOL in your eye for about 90-seconds.
In the following days, you may choose to wear protective glasses. You can test your vision as you normally would. Take note of what you like or dislike about your vision. You can repeat the adjustment process up to 3 times until you’re satisfied, although twice is best. Once you’re happy with the results, the surgeon will “lock in” your customized vision over two visits.
