RxSight LAL
“The First and Only Lens That Can Be
Customized AFTER Cataract Surgery”
The RxSight Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is a posterior chamber, ultraviolet (UV) absorbing, three-piece, foldable, photoreactive silicone intraocular lens with a squared posterior optic edge intended to be implanted in the capsular bag following phacoemulsification. Selective exposure of the implanted RxSight LAL using the Light Delivery Device (LDD) to deliver spatially profiled UV light produces modifications in the lens curvature resulting in a spherical or spherocylindrical power change post-operatively. A subsequent lock-in exposure is delivered to the implanted LAL to stabilize the lens power. The LDD delivers targeted UV light to shape the LAL and offer precise adjustment and vision for each patient. Surgeons can adjust the lens over a series of treatments to ensure each patient achieves vision that matches their goals and expectations.

How It Works
The Light Adjustable Lens is made from a special photosensitive material that gently changes shape when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. After your eye has healed from surgery, your doctor uses a novel Light Delivery Device (LDD) to precisely adjust your lens based on your desired visual outcome. Each treatment takes only a few minutes, using UV light to reshape the lens and fine-tune your prescription to your desired visual outcome.
How the Light Adjustable Lens Works
By the time we reach our mid-60s, most of us will develop cataracts—clouding of the eye’s natural lens that may cause blurry, dull, and distorted vision. If you’re preparing for cataract surgery and want to optimize your vision for your lifestyle, there’s an innovative option that gives you more control over your results: The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL/LAL+). It’s the only intraocular lens (IOL) that allows your prescription to be adjusted in the eye after surgery, giving qualified patients the opportunity to achieve customized vision.
Fixed IOLs Versus the Light Adjustable Lens
Traditional IOLs are known as fixed lenses—that means your surgeon must select the lens power before surgery, and once it’s implanted it can’t be changed. This process requires you to decide what kind of vision you want before your cataract procedure. The Light Adjustable Lens is different. Most of your decisions are made once your eye has healed after surgery, giving you the ability to preview and adjust your vision for your lifestyle and preferences.
A Long-Lasting Solution
The Light Adjustable Lens—like all IOLs—is intended to be a permanent replacement for your eye’s natural lens. It will not wear out or become cloudy over time and typically will not need to be replaced. After your final lock-in, your vision with the Light Adjustable Lens will be how you see for the rest of your life. Your vision should reflect the way you live. With the Light Adjustable Lens, you’re not locked into a fixed outcome after surgery. Instead, you experience your vision and work with your doctor to customize it to fit your unique lifestyle and preferences.
Benefits of the RxSight LLD System
- Unmatched precision and customization: Unlike traditional, fixed-power intraocular lenses (IOLs), the LAL can be adjusted to correct for residual refractive errors and astigmatism after surgery, leading to a more accurate final prescription.
- Greater patient satisfaction: The collaborative adjustment process gives patients more control over their visual outcome, which is directly linked to higher satisfaction rates.
- Superior visual acuity: Studies have shown that patients who receive the LAL are significantly more likely to achieve 20/20 vision or better without glasses compared to those with a standard IOL.
- Accounts for post-surgery healing: The system is designed to correct for minor shifts in the lens’s position that occur during the healing process, which is a major factor in refractive errors after standard cataract surgery.
- Reduced need for additional surgeries: The ability to non-invasively fine-tune the lens minimizes the risk that the initial lens power is incorrect, which could require further surgical interventions.
