Cataracts

When it comes to cataract surgery, choosing the right lens can make all the difference. At Eye Care of San Diego, we are proud to say that we now offer the revolutionary Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) from RxSight®.  

The Light Adjustable Lens is an intraocular lens (IOL) implanted during cataract surgery. Unlike traditional IOLs, the LAL can be fine-tuned after the initial implantation. Traditional cataract lenses are fixed and cannot be adjusted after surgery. This means that any adjustments needed for perfect vision must be made before surgery, often requiring patients to rely on glasses or contacts for certain activities. 

In contrast, the Light Adjustable Lens allows for post-surgery adjustments, giving patients the flexibility to fine-tune their vision based on their real-life experiences. This innovative approach leads to a higher satisfaction rate and a more personalized visual outcome.

Am I an Ideal Candidates for the Light Adjustable Lens? 

After surgery, this lens can be adjusted to suit the demands of the wearer, which is very helpful for patients who have not been able to achieve good vision with regular lenses. Ideal candidates for the Light Adjustable Lens are those who: 

  • Are undergoing cataract surgery? 
  • Desire more control over their vision outcome? 
  • Do you want to reduce their dependence on glasses after surgery? 
  • Are you looking for the latest in vision correction technology? 

If you fit into these categories, the LAL might be the perfect solution for your vision needs. 

How Does the Light Adjustable Lens Work?

  • Cataract Surgery: Initially, the cataract is removed, and the Light Adjustable Lens is implanted just like a traditional intraocular lens. 
  • Healing Period: Over the next few weeks, your eye will heal, and your vision will start to stabilize. 
  • Light Adjustment Sessions: After the healing period, you will undergo a series of light adjustment sessions. During these sessions, a UV light source is used to precisely adjust the lens to achieve optimal vision. 
  • Lock-in: Once the ideal vision is achieved, a final UV light treatment locks in the adjustments, ensuring your vision remains stable. 

At Eye Care of San Diego, we are dedicated to providing you with the best possible vision care. The Light Adjustable Lens offers unparalleled precision and customization, ensuring you get the clearest vision possible.
