Light Adjustable Lens
How Does the Light Adjustable Lens™ Work?
Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL) operate through a series of steps. First, during cataract surgery, your eye surgeon implants the LAL in a manner similar to that of a traditional intraocular lens (IOL).
After the surgery, your eye will need a few weeks to heal before any adjustments can begin. Once healing is complete, you’ll visit your eye doctor for a series of painless light treatments designed to refine your vision. Finally, after achieving your desired vision, a final light treatment locks in the adjustments, ensuring long-lasting results.

Light Adjustable Lens™ Procedure – What to Expect
During the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) procedure, you will first undergo cataract surgery, where your eye surgeon will implant the LAL similarly to a traditional intraocular lens (IOL). After the surgery, there will be a healing period of a few weeks to allow your eye to recover.
Once your eye has healed, you will return to your eye doctor for a series of painless light treatments that adjust the lens to fine-tune your vision. These non-invasive treatments typically require several visits to achieve the desired outcome. After achieving your ideal vision, a final light treatment will secure the adjustments, ensuring long-lasting and stable results.
