Colorado Eye Institute is proud to be the first practice in Colorado Springs and the southern Colorado region to offer Light Adjustable Lens™ (LAL®/LAL+™) to our patients!
The Light Adjustable Lens is the first and only lens that can be customized after cataract surgery – because we believe your vision should be exactly what you want. Now you can experience your vision, then refine it. So your vision will truly be yours.
With other lenses, you have to make a lot of decisions about the vision you want before your cataract surgery. Once implanted, those lenses can’t be changed; they’re what’s known as “fixed.”
The Light Adjustable Lens, however, is an adjustable lens. This means that the only decision you have to make before your surgery is to choose the Light Adjustable Lens. The rest can be made after your surgery once your eye has healed.
You and your surgeon then have the ability to adjust the lens and optimize your vision based on your unique preferences and lifestyle requirements. So you will truly have vision that’s just for you.
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 to optimize your vision.
The Light Delivery Device™ (LDD™) non-invasively delivers this UV light to precisely reshape your lens based on the visual correction that is needed to target your custom prescription.
RxSight offers two lenses in the Light Adjustable Lens platform: the Light Adjustable Lens and the Light Adjustable Lens+™. Your doctor will determine the lens that is best suited to your eyes. Both the LAL and LAL+ provide the same opportunity to customize your vision with your doctor after surgery.
UV light treatments will be performed in your doctor’s office after your eye has healed. Depending on your desired visual outcome, you may have one to three light treatments, followed by two “lock-in” treatments to prevent further changes.
Patients cannot say enough how ecstatic they are with their results after selecting The Light Adjustable Lens. To speak with one of our cataract surgeons and learn more about this cutting-edge technology, schedule your consultation today!
