With the Light Adjustable Lens, you now have the power to customize your vision after your cataract surgery. Experience the incredible ability to adjust and preview your vision based on your unique desires and lifestyle requirements. This extraordinary optimization process is performed by your eye doctor, who utilizes a series of quick office-based light treatment procedures following lens implantation.
The Light Adjustable Lens delivers unrivaled visual outcomes that non-adjustable IOLs simply cannot match.² In a comprehensive study involving 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 the need for glasses compared to those who received a standard monofocal IOL.
The Light Adjustable Lens is the only adjustable intraocular lens (IOL) available that allows optimization of your vision after lens implantation and healing. If you and Dr. Lindahl select the Light Adjustable Lens, the first step is to have your cataract safely removed and the adjustable IOL implanted. The cataract removal and IOL implantation procedure is the same as if you selected a non-adjustable IOL.
What is unique about the Light Adjustable Lens is that once your eye has healed, you return to the Rochester Eye and Laser Center to have your vision tested. During this visit, you will be able to preview and compare possible vision outcomes based on your unique preferences and lifestyle requirements before selecting a prescription for your adjustable lens. Dr. Lindahl will then apply a proprietary light treatment that precisely reshapes your implanted lens based on the visual correction that is needed to target your custom prescription. You may need 3 to 5 total light treatments to reach your vision goals.
The Light Adjustable Lens is made of a special photosensitive material that changes the shape and power of your implanted lens in response to ultraviolet (UV) light. Light treatments are delivered in our office with the Light Delivery Device (LDD).
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved the Light Adjustable Lens and Light Delivery Device for patients with pre-existing astigmatism of 0.75 diopters or more who are undergoing cataract surgery. Many other excellent commercially available IOLs are available for the treatment of your cataracts and we will help you determine which lens is right for you.
