Cataracts can significantly interfere with your vision, making it hard to complete everyday tasks. The only solution, if you have cataracts, is to have cataract surgery.
 

This procedure involves having your cloudy natural lens removed and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is the first and only premium IOL that can fine-tuned and adjusted after insertion.
 

Thanks to the Light Adjustable Lens, you can customize your vision after cataract surgery. Coastal Vision Medical is now offering this revolutionary lens to our cataract patients. Keep reading for five reasons to consider the Light Adjustable Lens!
 

1. The Light Adjustable Lens Can Be Adjusted to Achieve the Best Vision

The Light Adjustable Lens is the only IOL that can be adjusted non-invasively after it’s insertion in the eye. After implanting the LAL, your ophthalmologist can show you your exact vision options.
 

This allows you to test what your vision will look like in real-life and change it to your personal preference before your eye doctor locks in your permanent vision correction power, letting you enjoy your new vision for the rest of your life.
 

By far, this is one of the most significant advantages of the LAL because. With other IOLs, you can't adjust the lens power after your procedure if you're unhappy with the quality of your vision. In such a situation, the next best option is to have a corneal-based refractive surgery, such as LASIK, after cataract surgery.
 

2. It Can Be Used to Correct Nearsightedness, Farsightedness, and Astigmatism

The Light Adjustable Lens corrects astigmatism, farsightedness, and nearsightedness. The ability to correct these refractive errors allows patients to experience clear vision without glasses after cataract surgery.
 

If you pick this lens, you won't need to undergo LASIK or any other laser vision correction surgery.
 

3. You’ll Be Glare and Halo-Free

The LAL is made from a photosensitive silicone material that makes it glare-free and halo-free.
 

4. You'll Experience a Better Quality of Vision

A study by the FDA revealed that patients who receive the Light Adjustable Lenses are two times more likely to achieve 20/20 vision without prescription glasses than standard intraocular lenses. Light Adjustable Lenses provide patients with the best possible sight, shorter treatment duration, and less downtime.
 

With the Light Adjustable Lens, you can start making modifications only a few weeks after cataract surgery. You might require anywhere from 2 to 4 light treatments over a duration of 3 to 5 weeks to reach your vision goals.
 

5. The Lens is Highly Customizable

While cataract surgery is one of the safest medical procedures you can undergo, the lens position is usually an estimate despite the numerous measurements. On the other hand, the LAL is highly customizable since a patient's prescription is applied to the lens after surgery.
 

The LAL's precision is unmatched, giving patients the most efficient way of maximizing how well they can see, reducing or even eliminating the need for contacts or prescription glasses after cataract surgery.
 

Also, patients who have undergone previous eye surgeries like PRK and LASIK who still wish to improve their vision after cataract surgery can significantly benefit from the LAL.
