Light Adjustable Lens Technology for Cataract Surgery Debuts in Canada
Yesterday, Vision Rejuvenation Victoria, a Canadian leader in advanced cataract and refractive lens exchange surgery, announced that it had become the first eyecare centre in Canada to implant the Light Adjustable Intraocular Lens from Calhoun Vision.
The Calhoun Vision LAL® Light Adjustable Lens is a technology used during cataract surgery that allows an implanted intraocular lens to be adjusted to a patient’s ideal individual visual requirements after implantation through the safe, fast and non-invasive application of light.
Reader can learn more about the technology on the Calhoun Vision website . The technology has not yet been approved for sale in the United States. Clinical trials were begun in January 2009 to prove safety and effectiveness.

The only bumps in the road thus far are ….. my relaxing incisions didn’t take so my vision is blurry and I can’t read signs or letters clearly. My doctor asked me to wait a month to see if there is improvement. My second problem involves my nearsightedness.! Prior to the operation, I was aware that my near and intermediate vision would not improve after implanting a lens for far sight. What I wasn’t aware of was implanting a lens for far sight would take away most of my remaining near and intermediate vision, leaving everything within about ten feet of me a blur. So I can’t really treat my near and intermediate vision problems until I find out if my far vision will end up 20/20, and that may not occur for another month or two.the lal does not give you near vision. it simply reduces astigmatism. it should have been clear to you prior to surgery that a monofocal can only give you clear vision for either distance or near- you cant have both, and that you would be completely helpless at near unless you wore reading glasses. if you want both, you would need a multifocal. i recommend you aim for about -1.50 for the second eye, so you can have some near vision- this monovision strategy works quite well.
