How Does A Light Adjustable Lens Work?

So how does LAL surgery work? During the procedure, the surgeon removes the cloudy natural lens of the eye, known as a cataract, and replaces it with the LAL. The lens is made of a special material that adjusts with the light of a specific wavelength, like Ultra Violet (UV) light, which causes the lens to change shape. The patient wears special glasses that emit this light, and the lens gradually adjusts over the course of several weeks until the desired level of vision correction is achieved.

What are the Benefits of LAL Surgery?

1. Customized Vision Correction: The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) surgery allows for precise and customized vision correction according to the unique visual needs of each patient. This is achieved by adjusting the lens using light of a specific wavelength, which causes it to change shape until the desired level of vision correction is achieved.

2. Reduced Dependence on Glasses: With LAL surgery, patients can experience reduced dependence on glasses or contact lenses as the lens can be adjusted to their visual needs. This can be particularly beneficial for those who lead active lifestyles or have professions that require good vision, such as athletes, pilots, or surgeons.

3. Minimally Invasive Procedure: LAL surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that requires little downtime, allowing patients to return to their normal activities soon after the surgery. Additionally, the surgery is safe and effective, with low risk of complications, making it a popular option for those looking to improve their vision.

Who Can Benefit from Light Adjustable Len Surgery

LAL surgery is a great option for those looking to improve their vision and reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. It is safe, effective, and offers a level of customization that is not available with traditional cataract surgery. If you are interested in LAL surgery, talk to your eye doctor to see if it is right for you.

  • Cataract Patients: Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) surgery is primarily used to treat cataracts, a common eye condition that affects the clarity of the lens. If you have cataracts, LAL surgery may be a good option from improving your vision and reducing your dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
  • Patients with High Visual Demands: If you have a profession or hobby that requires good vision, such as driving, sports, or reading, LAL surgery may be a good option for you. The customized vision correction provided by LAL surgery can help you achieve the visual acuity you need to perform your daily activities.
  • Those with a Desire for Improved Vision: If you are generally unhappy with your vision and want to improve it, LAL surgery may be a good option for you. It offers a level of customization that is not available with traditional cataract surgery, allowing for precise vision correction that can reduce your reliance on glasses or contact lenses.

From the time I walked in the door until I left, I felt like I was a valued patient. The young lady that checked me in was friendly, funny, and started the visit off positively. The assistant that did most of my exam was amazing. She focused only on me and what I needed, and Dr. Flores was extremely informative and explained things to me in a way I could totally understand!

Noura
I didn't think I would ever find another eye doctor I trusted and whose office personnel were as friendly as Dr Lynch and his staff. BUT, I did. Texas Eye & Cataract is great. Dr. Sobti never made me feel he was in a hurry to get me out of the chair for the next patient. He is friendly and explains in layman's language -- I trust Dr. Sobti. AND, the staff -- you couldn't ask for more friendly, caring people.  AMAZING. Dr. Davidson, Dr. Kim, Julie, Liz, Suzanne, Olga, wish I knew all their names, but there are too many. From the first visit all I can say is I'm so thankful they are in Waxahachie and Red Oak.
Judy
