Light Adjustable Lens™

What is

The Light Adjustable Lens™(LAL)?

The Light Adjustable Lens™ (Abbreviated as LAL) is a groundbreaking ophthalmic technology specifically designed to provide personalized vision optimization solutions following cataract surgery. In traditional cataract surgery, the cloudy natural lens is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL) of fixed power, which cannot be adjusted postoperatively to address residual refractive errors.In contrast, LAL technology overcomes this limitation by allowing postoperative adjustments to the lens power based on the individual needs of the patient, thereby achieving superior visual outcomes. LAL is currently the first and only intraocular lens on the market that permits power adjustments after cataract surgery, offering patients an unprecedented visual experience.

LAL&Traditional Intraocular Lens

Light Adjustable Lens™
(LAL)
Traditional Intraocular
Lens
(IOL)
Adjustability

Postoperative light treatment
for precise power adjustment

Fixed post-operative power;
generally not adjustable

Personalized
Needs

Personalized adjustment based
on individual visual needs and
lifestyle requirements after LAL
implantation

Standardized design

Astigmatism

No need for toric intraocular
lenses (IOLs); can correct up to
300 degrees of astigmatism
(including the surgical incision)

Requires toric IOLs; if the lens
rotates post-operatively,
astigmatism may recur

Postoperative
Visual Acuity
and
Dependence

Reduces dependency on
glasses; increases the proportion
of patients achieving 20/20 vision
without glasses postoperatively
through blended vision

Pre-operative estimation and post-
operative actual power sometimes
may not match; glasses may be
needed post-operatively
Treatment
Process
Requires multiple LDD light
treatments

Single surgery; no subsequent
power adjustment process required

Postoperative
Care

Needs to wear UV-protective
glasses before finalizing the
power

Routine post-operative care; no
special requirements

Suitability

Those with difficult pre-operative
power estimations, such as patients
who have previously undergone laser
refractive surgery (e.g. LASIK or PRK);
patients with complex corneal conditions,
such as those with mild keratoconus;
and those seeking a highly personalized
vision and optimal visual outcomes.

How It Works

The Light Adjustable Lens™ is crafted from a specialized photosensitive material that, once implanted intraocularly, allows for modifications to the lens's shape and power through ultraviolet (UV) light.

UV Irradiation
Improved shape

Postoperatively, ophthalmologists can customize the lens power to meet each patient's specific needs by utilizing a Light Delivery Device (LDD) to administer a series of non-invasive phototherapy sessions. Each session lasts approximately 95–125 seconds, enabling precise adjustments of the intraocular lens (IOL) power to achieve optimal visual outcomes.

Innovation and Uniqueness

Innovation and Uniqueness

Traditional cataract surgery utilizes fixed-power monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs), which cannot be adjusted postoperatively, thereby limiting the precision of visual correction. In contrast, the Light Adjustable Lens™ allows ophthalmologists to perform multiple postoperative refinements based on the patient’s real-world visual needs and residual refractive error, enabling personalized visual correction.Compared to patients who received a standard (fixed) monofocal IOL, those who received LAL followed by adjustments were twice as likely to achieve 20/20 vision 6 months without glasses.

Why Choose
Light Adjustable Lens™ (LAL)?

Choose the Light Adjustable Lens™ and enjoy the best personalized visual experience
tailored for you. Enhance your quality of life and regain clear vision.

Customized to
your individual visual needs

After cataract surgery, your ophthalmologist will precisely customize your vision based on your visual needs and lifestyle. No longer rely on pre-surgical refractive predictions - achieve your desired visual outcomes.

Reduce dependency on post-surgical glasses, achieve superior binocular visual quality

Studies show that patients who use LAL to adjust their intraocular lens are twice as likely to achieve 20/20 vision compared to those with traditional monofocal IOLs. Reduce your reliance on spectacles and elevate your daily quality of life.

* Cutting-edge technology

Utilizing special photosensitive material, LAL allows precise modification of the intraocular lens shape using ultraviolet light. This enables personalized refractive adjustments to meet each patient's unique visual demands.
