Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)
Experience clearer, fully customized vision with the only intraocular lens that can be adjusted after cataract surgery. Unlike traditional fixed lenses, the Light Adjustable Lens allows your vision to be personalized after your eyes heal so your results match your lifestyle.
What is an lAL?
Personalized Vision After Cataract Surgery
Unlike traditional intraocular lenses (IOLs), which are fixed at the time of surgery, the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) allows your vision to be customized after surgery. Standard lenses rely solely on preoperative measurements and cannot be changed once implanted, often resulting in compromises or continued dependence on glasses. The LAL uses precise, light-based adjustments after your eye has healed, allowing you and your doctor to fine-tune your vision based on real-world visual needs. This advanced technology delivers truly personalized results tailored to your lifestyle.
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
Post Operation Recovery
What To Expect
During your pre-op evaluation, your ophthalmologist will measure your eye to set the optimal focusing power for your IOL (intraocular lens). Additionally, you will be asked about any medications you take. You may be asked not to take some of these medications before cataract surgery if necessary. You might be prescribed eyedrop medicines to take before your procedure. These medicines help prevent infection and reduce swelling during and after surgery. This will ensure safety and comfort during and after cataract surgery.
