It's Time to Customize Your Vision with the Light Adjustable Lens

With the Light Adjustable Lens, you’re in control. Preview your vision after surgery, fine-tune it to match your lifestyle, and achieve results with confidence! 
The Light Adjustable Lens has special light-sensitive molecules that allow it to be adjusted after surgery. With a quick, gentle treatment, a controlled beam of UV light from the Light Delivery Deviceâ„¢ (LDDâ„¢) is used to customize the lens shape and power, which determines how your eye focuses.

Fixed Lenses vs Adjustable Lenses: What's the Difference?

How it Works

What's Involved: The Procedure, Additional Light Treatments and LOCK-IN Treatments

Your surgery will be performed within 2 weeks, including post-op appointments for both eyes.  After surgery, you can test drive your vision for 2-3 weeks and customize it further through a series of light treatments that precisely reshape your implanted lens to fine-tune your results and achieve the best outcome aligned with your lifestyle and visual goals. See below for your Light Treatment and Lock in Treatment details

1. What's Involved: Light Treatments

With your doctor’s input, the LDD non-invasively delivers UV light to your Light Adjustable Lens to adjust your vision to the desired target. The system gives your doctor the flexibility to make adjustments and refinements to meet your specific criteria. Between 3 and 5 total light treatments, each lasting approximately 90 seconds, are required. The total number of light treatments is based on achievement of the desired visual outcome that you and your doctor selected. A driver is strongly recommended for all light treatments.

2. What's Involved: Lock-In Treatments

Once you have achieved your final optimal vision, the lens power is permanently locked with two final light treatments to prevent any further changes. When you experience the results of your adjustments, you will better understand the value of adjusting and customizing your vision after your surgery

3. What's Involved: UV- Protective Glasses

You must wear UV-protective glasses from lens implantation until after the last light treatment is complete. Until the LAL is locked in, exposing the lens to UV light sources (including the sun) could potentially modify the prescription. Total wear is typically 4–6 weeks; however, this can vary depending on the number of light treatments needed. You must wear the UV-protective glasses supplied to you as they have a special protective coating that no other glasses have. If you lose a pair, continue to wear the other pair provided and contact your eye clinic to replace them. Ask your doctor what activities you can participate in while completing light treatments. For example, you MUST NOT go to a tanning studio, get in a tanning bed, or receive facial beauty treatments (such as laser hair removal or permanent makeup).  Please watch the short video below.
