The Light Adjustable Lens: Personalized Vision After Cataract Surgery

Experience clearer, customized vision with the first and only lens that adjusts after cataract surgery. Discover how the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) can transform your sight — on your terms. With other lenses, you have to decide the vision you want to have before your cataract surgery. Once implanted, those lenses can’t be changed. This is called a “fixed.” lens. However, the Light Adjustable Lens is the only lens that allows for adjustments after surgery. Meaning that the only decision you have to make before your cataract surgery is to choose the Light Adjustable Lens. Once your eyes heal, your vision can be customized to your lifestyle.

What Is the Light Adjustable Lens?

Unlike traditional intraocular lenses (IOLs), which are fixed at the time of surgery, the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) allows for post-surgery customization. With standard lenses, your vision is based on preoperative measurements and can’t be changed once implanted — often leading to compromises or the need for glasses. The LAL changes that by enabling precise, light-based adjustments after your eye has healed. This innovative technology gives you and your doctor the power to fine-tune your vision based on how you see in everyday life, making your final results truly personalized.

The LAL Process: How It Works

The Light Adjustable Lens uses a special photosensitive material that responds to UV light from the Light Delivery Device™ (LDD™), allowing the lens to be reshaped after your eye heals. These in-office light treatments fine-tune your vision before a final “lock-in.” It’s an ideal option for patients with prior LASIK, mild astigmatism, or those seeking highly customized distance or blended vision — truly personalized sight made just for you.

Am I a Good Candidate for the Light Adjustable Lens?

The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is an excellent option for many patients seeking the most precise and personalized vision correction after cataract surgery. You may be a strong candidate if you prioritize achieving the best possible clarity in your distance or intermediate vision, especially if you’ve had previous refractive procedures such as LASIK, PRK, or radial keratotomy (RK).

The LAL may be right for you if:

• You want the best possible visual precision
• You’ve had LASIK, PRK, or RK in the past
• You have mild to moderate astigmatism
• You’re open to several office visits post-surgery
• You’re interested in trying monovision

It offers unmatched precision and flexibility, giving you the clearest possible vision tailored to your lifestyle. Unlike traditional lenses, it allows real-time adjustments based on how your eyes heal and how you see in everyday life.
