LIGHT ADJUSTABLE LENS™ for Cataracts

LIGHT ADJUSTABLE LENS™ for Cataracts

Now available at Clarus Eye Centre in Lacey, WA! 

Using a special lens material designed by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist, RxSight has developed the first intraocular lens (IOL) that allows you and your physician to optimize your vision following cataract surgery.

Despite numerous advances in modern cataract surgery technologies, only 6 out of 10 cataract patients achieve their targeted vision, and an even smaller percentage achieve excellent vision at all distances. This is because it is very difficult to predict how your eye will heal before your cataract surgery.

With the LIGHT ADJUSTABLE LENS™ for cataracts, you can now customize your vision after your cataract surgery. You will have the unique ability to adjust and preview your vision until it meets your personal desires and lifestyle requirements. This optimization is done by your eye doctor after lens implantation through a series of office-based light treatment procedures that take only a few minutes each.

The Light Adjustable Lens delivers for cataracts delivers superior visual outcomes that non-adjustable IOLs cannot match.² In a study of 600 subjects, those who received the Light Adjustable Lens followed by adjustments were twice as likely to achieve 20/20 distance vision at 6 months without glasses as those who received a standard monofocal IOL.
