As a natural part of the aging process, cataracts develop when the natural lens in your eyes becomes cloudy and hard, which makes your vision difficult to see.
The only treatment for cataracts is removing the cloudy natural lens and replacing it with a new artificial intraocular lens (IOL).
The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is the first and only IOL that enables you and your doctor to design and customize your vision after cataract surgery.
The Light Adjustable Lens is made of a specific photosensitive material that changes the shape and power of your implanted lens in reaction to ultraviolet (UV) light.
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.
Depending on your desired visual outcome, you may receive 1–3 light treatments, followed by “lock-in” treatment to permanently lock in your correction.
While your vision is still in the adjustment phase, you will be required to wear glasses that prevent UV light from altering your lens to protect it before the final lock-in.
