What is the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)?

The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is a cutting-edge intraocular lens used during cataract surgery or lens replacement. Unlike traditional lenses, the LAL can be adjusted post-implantation using a special UV light. This adjustability allows your eye care professional to customize your vision even after the lens has been implanted, helping to achieve the best possible outcome based on your unique needs.

Developed by RxSight, the LAL offers a tailored solution for patients who want to reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Its unique ability to be adjusted after surgery makes it a powerful tool in the quest for sharper, more comfortable vision.

How Does the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) Work?

Here’s how the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) works to provide you with customized vision:

Implantation: The LAL is placed into your eye during cataract surgery or lens replacement.
Healing: After the procedure, your eye will need to heal before adjustments can begin. Follow-up visits will ensure everything is progressing well.
Adjustments: Once your eye has healed, your surgeon will use a special UV light to adjust the LAL, fine-tuning your vision. This process may require several sessions.
Final Result: After a few adjustments, your vision will be precisely corrected, and you can enjoy sharp, clear sight without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
