The Light Adjustable Lens™

Personalised Vision Correction with The Light Adjustable Lens™ (LAL)®

The Light Adjustable Lens is an intraocular lens offering patients: the power to adjust their vision after surgery. Currently the 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 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.

The Future of Vision Correction

Traditional lenses rely on pre-surgical measurements to estimate your final vision. With the 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?

  • First-of-its-kind technology: The LAL is the only FDA-approved lens adjustable with UV light after surgery.
  • Precision customisation: Vision is corrected with light-based fine-tuning sessions, performed in the clinic.
  • Lifestyle-oriented results: Your vision can be refined over multiple visits, up to 3 times, to suit your reading. Helping you with driving, or work needs.

Who Is It For?

  • Patients with mild to moderate astigmatism
  • Individuals undergoing cataract surgery
  • Those who want greater control over their post-surgery visual outcome

How It Works

  1. Lens Implantation: Your LAL is inserted during cataract
  2. Healing Period: After initial healing (typically 4 weeks), your surgeon begins vision adjustments.
  3. UV Light Adjustments: Using the RxSight Light Delivery Device™ (LDD™), light treatments precisely reshape the lens.
  4. Final Lock-In: Once optimal vision is reached, a final light session locks the lens in place permanently.

What Makes 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 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 avoids splitting light, significantly reducing visual disturbances like halos or glare, resulting in clearer focus and greater overall satisfaction.
