Customize Your Vision: Light Adjustable Lenses in Missouri

If you need cataract surgery, you now have an innovative way to customize your vision even after surgery: Light Adjustable Lenses (LALs). At Missouri Eye Consultants, we’re proud to offer this advanced lens technology, giving you more precise vision tailored to your needs.

What Are Light Adjustable Lenses?

A Light Adjustable Lens is a unique intraocular lens (IOL) that allows you to customize your vision after cataract surgery. Unlike traditional IOLs with a fixed prescription, LALs use UV light treatments to fine-tune your vision post-surgery—so you get the clearest results possible.

This technology is ideal for those who want more independence from glasses or contact lenses after surgery.

The Benefits of Light Adjustable Lenses

Light Adjustable Lenses offer a level of customization that standard IOLs can’t match. Benefits include:

Customizable Vision:

Adjustments after surgery ensure optimal clarity

Reduced Dependence on Glasses:

Many patients experience significantly improved near and distance vision

Personalized Adjustments:

Unlike traditional IOLs, you can test drive and refine your vision before finalizing the prescription

Non-Invasive Process:

The light treatments are quick, painless, and done in-office

Enhanced Visual Precision:

LALs provide superior accuracy compared to standard lens implants

Who Is a Candidate for Light Adjustable Lenses?

You may be a good candidate for LALs if:

  • You have astigmatism and want more precise correction
  • You prefer to minimize the need for reading glasses or bifocals
  • You want the flexibility to adjust your prescription post-surgery
  • You have had previous refractive surgery (like LASIK) and need a more customized solution

If you’re unsure whether LALs are right for you, our experienced eye doctors at Missouri Eye Consultants can help determine the best option for your vision needs.

How Does the Light Adjustment Process Work?

The process of adjusting your Light Adjustable Lens is simple and painless:

  1. Cataract Surgery: We implant the LAL, just like a standard IOL
  2. Healing Period: Your eye heals over the next few weeks
  3. Light Treatments Begin: We use a special UV light to fine-tune your vision in-office
  4. Final Lock-In: Once you’re satisfied with your results, we permanently set the lens

The result? Truly customized vision correction designed just for your eyes.
