RxSight™ Light Adjustable Lens Cataract Surgery in NYC
The First and Only Lens That Can Be Customized AFTER Cataract Surgery
At Pamel Laser Vision Group, we are committed to bringing the latest vision care innovations and most advanced treatment options to our patients. We are excited to announce that we are offering the RxSight® Light Adjustable Lens™. This revolutionary intraocular lens (IOL) is the first of its kind and it gives cataract surgery patients the opportunity to achieve more precise vision correction while reducing or eliminating their dependence on glasses or contacts.
How Does It Work?
With traditional intraocular lenses (IOLs), the doctor performs measurements before your surgery in order to select the best IOL to try to achieve your vision goals. Once your surgery is complete and the IOL has been implanted, the doctor has limited options to adjust the lens power.
With the RxSight™ Light Adjustable Lens, Dr. Pamel can now customize your vision after your eye has healed from cataract surgery. This is because the Light Adjustable Lens is made of a special photosensitive material that changes the shape and power of your implanted lens in response to ultraviolet (UV) light. You and Dr. Pamel will have the unique ability to adjust and preview your vision until it meets your personal desires and lifestyle requirements.
The cataract removal and IOL implantation procedure is the same as if you selected a non-adjustable IOL. Then, in the weeks that follow, Dr. Pamel will customize your vision through a series of non-invasive light treatments that take only a few minutes each. You may need 3 to 5 total light treatments over a period of 1 to 2 weeks to reach your vision goals. Once your vision is adjusted, a final light treatment is used to lock in the results.
The Light Adjustable Lens delivers superior vision outcomes that non-adjustable IOLs cannot match. In a clinical study, the majority of patients who received the Light Adjustable Lens achieved 20/20 or better vision at 6 months without glasses.
