What Is an Adjustable Light Lens?

Light adjustable lenses are a type of contact lens implanted in the eye after cataract surgery. During the post-op period, your optometrist will expose the lens to light. The lens will change automatically to match your refractive errors. This new technology allows our ophthalmologist to fine-tune each lens specifically for your vision needs, making them one of the most accurate and comfortable ways to see clearly.

The Benefits of Light Adjustable Lenses

Light-adjustable lenses are excellent for people with cataracts that need clearer vision. In addition, those who want to correct their nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, or presbyopia.

They come with several benefits, such as:

  • Comfort - Light-adjustable lenses are designed to be comfortable and easy to wear.
  • Accuracy - Our ophthalmologist can fine-tune the lenses precisely, providing better visual accuracy.
  • Durability - Light adjustable lenses are designed to last for years, making them a great long-term solution.
  • Affordability - While these lenses can be more expensive than traditional contacts, they offer long-term savings due to their durability and accuracy.
