What Are Light Adjustable Lenses (LAL)

At Lumea, we’re proud to share that we’ve become the first eye clinic in Canada to successfully implant over 1,000 Light Adjustable Lenses (LALs), a major achievement in collaboration with RxSight. This milestone reflects our commitment to innovation and our leadership in delivering personalized, adjustable solutions that consistently achieve outstanding visual outcomes.

But what exactly are Light Adjustable Lenses, and could they be right for you?

What Are Light Adjustable Lenses (LALs)?

Unlike traditional intraocular lenses (IOLs) used in cataract surgery, LALs are uniquely designed to be customized after surgery. Once implanted, your eye heals and then, using a special UV light treatment, we can fine-tune your prescription without additional surgery. This allows for incredible precision and personalized results.

Who Can Benefit from LALs?

LALs are ideal for:

  • Those Who Want the Best Possible Vision After Cataract Surgery: The LAL allows for unprecedented post-operative fine-tuning, catering to individual vision goals and lifestyles for truly customized results.
  • Reduce Reliance on Glasses: Say Goodbye to Glasses: The LAL helps drastically reduce the reliance on glasses.
  • Individuals with Astigmatism: The adjustability of the LAL can be used to enhance overall vision quality.
  • Try Out Different Vision Settings Before You Commit: With the Light Adjustable Lens, you have the opportunity to try different vision outcomes, including monovision, mini-monovision, or other personalized setups, before making your final prescription decision.
  • Minimize Glare and Halos: The Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is designed to lower the risk of glare and halos, which can be common with some other lens types, especially in low-light conditions. Its smooth design avoids features that may cause these effects, supporting clearer and more comfortable vision, particularly for night driving.
  • Precision Adjustment Based on What You Want: With the Light Adjustable Lens, you and your doctor work together at each stage to fine-tune your vision so it matches your lifestyle and personal needs.
  • Aim for Your Best Vision: The Light Adjustable Lens has helped more than 80% of patients choosing blended vision achieve binocular 20/20 vision or better, along with J3 to J1 reading vision. Its adjustability offers many patients the opportunity to reach their personal best vision.

Why This Matters

With over 1,000 implants performed, our LAL team, led by Dr. Khan, Dr. Sanghera, and Dr. Salwan, has developed deep expertise in helping patients find their clearest vision. Whether for cataract surgery or refractive lens exchange (RLE), the Light Adjustable Lens offers one of the most advanced options in personalized eye care.
