The First and Only Lens That Can Be Customized AFTER Cataract Surgery
With traditional intraocular lenses (IOLs), your physician performs measurements before your
surgery in order to select the best IOL to try to achieve your vision goals. Once your surgery is
complete and the IOL has been implanted, your physician has limited options to adjust the lens
power.
With the RxSight™ Light Adjustable Lens, you and your doctor can now customize your vision
after your eye has healed from cataract surgery. This is because 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. You and your physician will have the unique ability to
adjust and preview your vision until it meets your personal desires and lifestyle requirements.
The cataract removal and IOL implantation procedure is the same as if you selected a non-
adjustable IOL. Then, in the weeks that follow, your physician will customize your vision
through a series of non-invasive light treatments that take only a few minutes each. You may
need 3 to 5 total light treatments over a period of 6-8 weeks to reach your vision goals. Once
your vision is adjusted, a final light treatment is used to lock in the results.
The Light Adjustable Lens delivers superior vision outcomes that non-adjustable IOLs cannot
match. In a clinical study, the majority of patients who received the Light Adjustable Lens
achieved 20/20 or better vision at 6 months without glasses.
