At See Vision, we are dedicated to bringing our patients the most advanced cataract solutions, and are proud to offer the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) in Wellington, FL, a leading-edge IOL renowned for its ability to offer customized outcomes to our patients’ specifications.
What To Expect From The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) Procedure
The process of implanting the Light Adjustable Lens begins with undergoing either a cataract or refractive lens exchange procedure. During either of these procedures, your natural lens is removed and replaced with an IOL, like the Light Adjustable Lens. In the two weeks following IOL insertion, your eyes will begin to heal and adapt to your new LAL lenses. This recovery period paves the way for the LAL’s unique advantage: post-surgical customization.
Fine-tuning the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is a painless process achieved using a Light Delivery Device (LDD).
This device emits precisely controlled ultraviolet (UV) light patterns that interact with the lens’ photosensitive material. The LAL reacts to UV light, which allows us to adjust the lens power and sharpness exactly where needed for optimal vision. Patients require between 1 to 3 of these quick (around 90 seconds each) light treatments, spaced 1-2 weeks apart. A final light treatment “locks in” the power of the lens, leaving you with an exceptional, long-lasting vision that’s tailored to you. UV protective glasses are worn from the time of surgery until the final lock-in treatment.
