Read on to learn more about Light Adjustable Lenses, then contact our eye center in Kansas City, KS to learn if these lenses are right for you.

What is a Light Adjustable Lens, and how does it work?

The Light Adjustable Lens is an innovative intraocular lens that can be modified after it has been implanted, thanks to a series of noninvasive UV light treatments. These adjustments allow your eye care specialist to refine your prescription based on how your vision settles after surgery, ensuring that your vision is customized to meet your personal needs.

How does the Light Adjustable Lens compare to traditional lenses?

Traditional intraocular lenses offer a fixed prescription, meaning they cannot be altered once implanted. In contrast, the Light Adjustable Lens provides the unique advantage of post-surgical adjustments. Using targeted light exposure, the LAL allows for fine-tuning of the prescription after surgery, giving patients the opportunity to achieve their ideal vision. This level of customization reduces the need for additional corrective procedures and offers a more precise and flexible solution for those seeking the best possible visual outcomes.
