Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)
The Light Adjustable Lens Implant is a revolutionary monofocal lens that offers unique post-operative adjustability. This advanced lens can be fine-tuned after it has been implanted into the eye, allowing for unprecedented precision in correcting vision. This adjustability is key to achieving optimal, glasses-free vision for many patients, making it a highly attractive option for those seeking the most accurate visual outcomes from cataract surgery.
Revolutionizing Cataract Surgery: RxSight’s Light Adjustable Lens®
Historically, the success of cataract surgery hinged on pre-surgery measurements to set the power of implantable lenses. However, RxSight’s Light Adjustable Lens® (LAL) is transforming this approach, making it one of the most significant advancements in the United States’ most common surgery.
The LAL allows for post-operative adjustments using targeted ultraviolet light. This innovation addresses the limitations of traditional pre-op testing, which cannot account for minor shifts that may occur during the healing process. By enabling adjustments to the lens power after the eye has healed, the LAL offers a new level of precision in restoring clear vision, effectively eliminating the guesswork typically associated with determining the optimal lens setting during cataract surgery.
Optimizing Vision with the Light Adjustable Lens
For certain patients, achieving optimal vision with traditional, non-adjustable lens implants can be challenging. This includes individuals with unique eye anatomies such as extremely long or short eyes, irregular corneal astigmatism, or those who have undergone procedures like laser vision correction, radial keratotomy, or have conditions like corneal ectasia.
The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) presents a superior solution for these cases, offering the potential for glasses-free vision. However, it requires some additional commitment post-surgery. Patients will need to attend multiple follow-up visits where their eyes will be dilated for the precise adjustment of the lens implant. Furthermore, during the adjustment period, which typically lasts 4-6 weeks post-surgery, patients must wear UV protective glasses to prevent unintended adjustments from environmental light exposure.
