Test Drive Your Vision
At Eye Surgical Associates, we’re excited to offer the Light Adjustable Lens™ (LAL®/LAL+™) from RxSight®—the only IOL that lets you test drive your vision.
With the Light Adjustable Lens, you can now personalize your vision after your cataract surgery. You will have the unique ability to adjust and preview your vision based on your personal desires and lifestyle requirements. This is the first IOL technology that lets patients actively evaluate and participate in their visual outcomes post operatively.
The Light Adjustable Lens delivers superior visual outcomes that fixed IOLs cannot match. In a study of 600 subjects, those who received the Light Adjustable Lens followed by adjustments were twice as likely to achieve 20/20 distance vision at 6 months without glasses as those who received a standard monofocal IOL!
The First And Only IOL Adjustable After Cataract Surgery—The Light Adjustable Lens™
RxSight has developed the first IOL that allows your physician to optimize your vision after your cataract surgery rather than trying to predict how the IOL will perform in your eye before your surgery. RxSight offers two lenses in the Light Adjustable Lens platform: the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL®) and the Light Adjustable Lens+™ (LAL+™). Your doctor will determine the lens that is best suited to your eyes. Both the LAL and LAL+ provide the same opportunity to customize your vision with your doctor after surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I expect in the period after cataract surgery?
Please follow all instructions provided to you by your eye doctor and staff, including use of the UVblocking glasses that will be provided to you. As with any cataract surgery, your vision may not be perfect after surgery. While your eye doctor selected the lens they anticipated would give you the best possible vision, it was only an estimate. Fortunately, you have selected the Light Adjustable Lens! In the following weeks, you and your eye doctor will work together to optimize your vision. Please make sure to pay close attention to your vision and be prepared to discuss preferences with your eye doctor.
Why do I have to wear UV-blocking glasses?
The UV-blocking glasses you are provided with protect the Light Adjustable Lens from UV light sources other than the LDD that your doctor will use to optimize your vision. Exposing the Light Adjustable Lens to other UV light sources can potentially change the lens correction in an uncontrolled manner. If you do not wear the provided UV-blocking eyewear, your vision may not improve or it could get worse. If this happens, please contact your physician.
How long do I have to wear the UV-blocking glasses?
The UV-blocking glasses should be worn at all times until your eye doctor tells you that you no longer need to wear them (usually 24 hours after your final light treatment). Total wear is typically about 4-5 weeks in duration, however, this may vary depending on the number of light treatments delivered.
Can I wear my regular sunglasses that have UV protection?
No. You should wear the UV-blocking glasses provided to you. These glasses have a special protective coating that no other glasses have.
What happens if I lose or break my UV-blocking glasses?
Please notify your eye doctor/clinic as soon as possible if one of your two pairs of UV-blocking glasses are lost, damaged or unwearable, and then continue to wear the other pair. If both pairs are lost or damaged, wear the darkest sunglasses you have and contact your eye doctor/clinic.
