The Future Of Implantable Cataract Lenses
Welcome to a revolutionary breakthrough in vision correction—introducing the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL®), available exclusively through Fadi Kherdaji, one of the UK’s leading vision correction specialists. For patients across South Wales and beyond, this technology marks a transformative step in personalised cataract and refractive lens exchange surgery.
What Is the Light Adjustable Lens?
The Light Adjustable Lens, developed by RxSight, is the world’s first and only intraocular lens (IOL) that can be customised after surgery. Instead of locking in your visual outcome before your eye has fully healed, this lens adapts post-operatively through a series of non-invasive UV light treatments.
Why This Technology Matters
Unlike traditional IOLs, which require your surgeon to predict final vision results before surgery, the LAL allows fine-tuning after healing. It’s ideal for patients who want maximum control over their sight and a tailored outcome based on real-world feedback.
The LAL+ Option
For those needing a broader range of focus, the LAL+ offers an extended depth of field. It’s perfect for those who want smoother transitions between near, intermediate, and distance vision.
How Do They Work?
Through a unique, light-based process, your vision can be refined with extraordinary precision — even after healing has begun. Below, you’ll see the four key stages that make this personalised transformation possible.
1. Implantation Complete
The Light Adjustable Lens is securely placed during cataract or RLE surgery, setting the stage for post-operative customisation.
2. Light Activation Phase
Multiple UV light beams target the lens, beginning the precise reshaping process to fine-tune your vision.
3. Final Adjustment
Your surgeon uses a single UV light source to perform the last adjustments, based on how your vision performs in the real world.
4. Vision Locked-In
The lens is permanently set with optimal clarity — now customised specifically for your eyes and lifestyle.
Who Is Light Adjustable Lenses For?
This innovative treatment is ideal for adults undergoing cataract surgery or lens replacement, particularly those with mild to moderate astigmatism. It’s also well-suited for patients who want to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses after surgery. Most importantly, it’s perfect for individuals seeking a fully bespoke and personalised vision correction journey, tailored to their unique lifestyle and visual needs.

FAQs About Light Adjustable Lenses
We’ve gathered the most essential FAQs about Light Adjustable Lens—covering everything from how they work to why they’re a game-changer for vision correction. Discover why so many patients in Cheltenham are choosing these advanced lenses for sharp, seamless vision at all distances!
What makes the Light Adjustable Lens different from other lens implants?
The LAL is the only intraocular lens that can be adjusted after surgery. Using UV light, your surgeon can fine-tune your vision based on how your eyes heal and your real-world needs — something no other lens currently offers.
Is the adjustment process painful?
Not at all. The UV light treatments are non-invasive, painless, and typically take just a few minutes. Most patients describe the process as quick and comfortable.
Will I still need glasses after surgery?
Most patients experience excellent vision without glasses after the full treatment course. Because the lens can be personalised post-surgery, your chance of being glasses-free is significantly higher compared to standard lenses.
Do I need to take special precautions after surgery?
Yes — you’ll need to wear UV-blocking glasses until the final light treatment is completed. This protects the lens from unintended light exposure and ensures the adjustments are precise and controlled.
