The Light Adjustable Lens™

Personalised Vision Correction with The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)

The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is an intraocular lens offering patients: the power to adjust their vision after surgery. Currently the The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is the only lens that can be fine-tuned post-operatively, allow to tailor your final vision based on your personal lifestyle needs.

1. Lens Implantation

The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is placed during cataract or RLE surgery, setting the foundation for post-op customisation.

2. Light Activation

A focused UV light reshapes the lens, beginning the process of tailoring your vision to your needs.

3. Refinement

Additional light treatments refine your lens based on how you see in real life! For precision, not prediction.

4. Final Lock-In

Your personalised vision is sealed permanently, optimised by you.

Who are the most suitable patients for The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)?

The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL): Ideal for Patients with Previous Eye Surgery or Complex Prescriptions

The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is particularly beneficial for patients who have previously undergone laser eye surgery such as LASIK, PRK, or who have complex corneal conditions where standard lens calculations are less predictable. In these cases, the biometric measurements can produce less accurate outcomes with conventional intraocular lenses. The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) overcomes this limitation by allowing post-operative refinement once the eye has fully healed, making it one of the most reliable solutions for patients with a history of refractive surgery or irregular corneas.

What to Expect Before, During and After LAL Surgery

Before and during The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) surgery:

The procedure is identical to standard cataract or lens replacement surgery.
The lens calculation is performed as usual, and the LAL is implanted in the same way as other intraocular lenses (e.g., monofocal or trifocal IOLs).

After The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)

surgery:

Patients must wear UV-protective glasses when outdoors to prevent unintentional light exposure until all adjustments are completed.
After about three weeks, vision is re-evaluated.
If a small refractive error remains, a 2–3-minute light treatment is performed at the clinic.
This painless procedure uses precisely focused UV light to adjust the lens power to perfection.
If desired, an EDOF profile can be added to improve near and intermediate vision.

What makes LAL unique?

Traditional lenses rely on pre-surgical measurements to estimate your final vision. With the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL), adjustments are made in the weeks following your procedure to account for healing responses and lens positioning. It’s not a fixed outcome, it’s a customisable process designed around you.

Why Choose The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)?

With the the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL), this problem can be easily corrected after the operation:

A few weeks after implantation, a special UV light treatment can fine-tune the lens power directly inside the eye, correcting small refractive errors.
This allows the surgeon to precisely eliminate any remaining nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.
The optical profile of the lens can also be modified to create an EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) effect, improving near and intermediate vision.
If the patient is not satisfied with the new setting, it can even be reversed or readjusted.

What Makes The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) Unique?

ActivShield™ UV Protection: Built-in safety layer prevents accidental light exposure from affecting the lens.
Sharper Vision: Patients with the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) achieved vision so sharp, it closely matched the clarity of traditional patients wearing glasses but without needing them.
No Light Splitting: As a monofocal lens, the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) avoids splitting light, significantly reducing visual disturbances like halos or glare, resulting in clearer focus and greater overall satisfaction.
