Thanks to the new Light Adjustable Lens, cataract surgeons like the dedicated doctors at Florida Eye Specialists can now help patients see better than ever with cataract surgery. Local Jacksonville TV news station First Coast News recently spoke with our doctors to explain this transformative new technology.
Florida Eye Specialists Leading the Way to Bringing Back 20/20 Vision
The Light Adjustable Lens is the first cataract lens implant that can fine-tune vision after cataract surgery. This groundbreaking technology allows patients to test drive their vision and customize their prescription to their lifestyle, just like with glasses or contacts.
With over 1,000 Light Adjustable Lens implanted, the eye care specialists at Florida Eye Specialists are the leading experts in the latest technology in cataract surgery.
Cataract Surgery With the Light Adjustable Lens
After cataract surgery with the Light Adjustable Lens, patients meet with their eye doctor to test their vision. They then preview and compare prescription changes to choose the option that looks best to them. Our experienced ophthalmologists use a series of UV light treatments with a Light Delivery Device to customize the photosensitive material of the lens.
Each treatment is painless, and the light application takes only a short time to complete. That said, plan to be at each office visit for around two hours. During this time, your doctor will dilate your eyes and conduct thorough evaluations to ensure the best possible results. For your convenience, it’s advisable to bring a driver with you to the appointment.
