One of the advanced solutions we offer is RxSight® Light Adjustable Lens™, a groundbreaking option for those seeking optimal vision post-cataract surgery.

These lenses are designed to be a permanent solution once the final adjustment is made. If you or a loved one has cataracts, contact our office in Kansas City, KS to learn more about light-adjustable lenses.

What are Light Adjustable Lenses?

Light Adjustable Lenses are a type of intraocular lens (IOL) used primarily in cataract surgery. They are made from durable materials that maintain clarity and resist common issues like clouding, providing long-term stability in vision correction. Unlike traditional IOLs, these lenses allow for post-operative adjustments. After the Light Adjustable Lens is implanted, the prescription can be fine-tuned using ultraviolet light to ensure the best possible vision. This revolutionary technology gives patients a unique level of control over their vision outcomes.

How do Light Adjustable Lenses work?

Light Adjustable Lenses function by changing shape and focus when exposed to a special light delivered exclusively by the RxSight system. This adjustment process allows for a customized vision correction that is tailored to the individual needs of each patient, enhancing both near and distance vision. The adjustments can be made over several weeks, allowing the patient to experience real-world vision scenarios before finalizing their optimal settings.

What makes Light Adjustable Lenses different?

Light Adjustable Lenses offer several distinct advantages over traditional intraocular lenses, making them an appealing choice for those undergoing cataract surgery. Some advantages include:

  • Customizability: Allows for post-operative adjustments to fine-tune vision to individual needs.
  • Precision: High level of accuracy in achieving the desired vision correction.
  • Flexibility: Patients can test their vision in real-world conditions and request changes before the prescription is finalized.
  • Patient satisfaction: Increased likelihood of achieving optimal visual outcomes with fewer compromises. These features significantly enhance the appeal of Light Adjustable Lenses, providing a tailored vision correction experience that is highly valued by patients.

Once the final adjustment has been made and the prescription is locked in, Light Adjustable Lenses are designed to last a lifetime. The material and design of these lenses are similar to other IOLs, which have a long history of durability and effectiveness. The peace of mind that comes with knowing these lenses can last a lifetime is invaluable for our Kansas City, KS patients looking for a permanent solution to their vision needs.
