RxSight™ Light Adjustable Lens is the first and only lens that gives patients the unique ability to adjust and preview their post-cataract surgery vision. The lens is made of a special photosensitive material that can be adjusted in response to ultraviolet light. Your doctor will customize the lens in the weeks after it is implanted. They will use a series of painless, non-invasive light treatments that take only a few minutes each.
Traditional lenses used in cataract surgery offer limited options for adjustments. Ophthalmologists perform measurements before the surgery to best achieve your vision goals. RxSight™ Light Adjustable Lens allows you and your doctor to customize your vision after your eye has healed from cataract surgery.
The procedure to remove the cataract and lens implantation procedure for the RxSight™ Light Adjustable Lens are the same as if you selected a non-adjustable lens. Patients who received the Light Adjustable Lens followed by adjustments were twice as likely to achieve 20/20 vision at 6 months without glasses as those who received the standard lens.
Patients will need to wear special UV protective glasses during all waking hours from the time of lens implantation until after the last light treatment is completed. The special glasses prevent exposure to indoor and outdoor sources of UV light that can cause uncontrolled changes to the Light Adjustable Lens.
