Light Adjustable Lens (LAL)
The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is an advanced intraocular lens that allows your vision to be customized after cataract surgery.
At Tylock-George Eye Care, we are proud to offer this groundbreaking technology to help our patients achieve their best possible vision.
What Is the Light Adjustable Lens?
The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is the only intraocular lens (IOL) that allows your surgeon to fine-tune your vision after cataract surgery. Unlike standard IOLs, which are set at the time of surgery, the LAL can be adjusted using targeted UV light treatments after your eyes have healed—giving you the clearest possible vision customized to your lifestyle.
How Does the Light Adjustable Lens Work?
After your cataract surgery, the LAL remains flexible. Once your eyes have healed, your surgeon uses a special UV light delivery device to painlessly reshape the lens and optimize your prescription. This process is called a light treatment and typically involves 3 to 5 sessions over a few weeks.
Once your vision reaches your desired outcome, the lens is “locked in” with a final light treatment—securing your custom prescription permanently.
What Are the Benefits of the Light Adjustable Lens?
The Light Adjustable Lens offers a range of advantages, including:
- Vision customized after healing
- Greater precision than traditional IOLs
- Reduces need for glasses or contacts
- Non-invasive light treatments
- Ideal for patients with previous refractive surgery (e.g., LASIK)
Is the Light Adjustable Lens Right for You?
The LAL is a premium IOL option best suited for patients who:
- Want the most accurate vision correction possible
- Have had prior refractive surgery like LASIK or PRK
- Want to reduce their dependency on glasses
- Are willing to wear special UV-protective glasses between treatments to protect the lens from unintended light exposure
