What Are Light-Adjustable Lenses?
Light-adjustable lenses are intraocular lenses (IOLs) designed to allow postoperative vision adjustments through controlled ultraviolet (UV) light applications. Traditional IOLs are set at the time of surgery, locking in your final prescription immediately. In contrast, a light-adjustable lens remains adaptable shortly after implantation.
During several follow-up visits, a specialist precisely calibrates the implant by exposing it to a low-intensity UV light. This reshaping process can help optimize outcomes for people who need fine-tuning of their visual correction. The result is greater post-surgical flexibility, enabling more exact adjustments than what standard IOLs can achieve.
