Combined correction of sphere and astigmatism using the light-adjustable intraocular lens in eyes with axial myopia.
J Cataract Refract Surg
Center for Vision Science, Ruhr University Eye Clinic, Bochum, Germany.
Published: February 2011
Purpose: To determine the efficacy of light-adjustable intraocular lenses (IOL) in correcting residual spherical and cylindrical errors in patients with axial myopia.
Setting: Center for Vision Science, Ruhr University Eye Clinic, Bochum, Germany.
Design: Prospective cohort study.
Methods: Light-adjustable IOLs were implanted in eyes with axial myopia and treated with spatial irradiance profiles delivered by a digital light-delivery device to induce a target spherical and/or spherocylindrical refractive change. Once the desired correction was achieved, the power of the IOL was locked in (ie, photo locking). The manifest refraction, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) were determined 1, 6, and 12 months after lock-in to determine the achieved refractive corrections and their stability.
Results: Twelve months postoperatively, 20 (96%) of the 21 eyes studied were within ± 0.50 diopter (D) of the intended refractive outcome and 17 (81%) were within ± 0.25 D. One eye had a 0.325 D change in mean refractive spherical equivalent (MRSE). The change in MRSE in the other 20 eyes was less than 0.250 D between 1 month after lock-in and the 3-, 6-, and 12-month postoperative visits.
Conclusions: The light-adjustable IOL reduced postoperative spherical and cylindrical errors of up to 2.00 D. Postoperative refractive errors were successfully corrected, and there was a significant improvement in UDVA with concomitant maintenance of CDVA. The achieved refractive change was stable after the adjustment and lock-in procedures.

Clinical Evaluation of Nd:YAG Capsulotomy on the Light-Adjustable Intraocular Lens.
J Cataract Refract Surg
January 2025
Coastal Vision Medical Group, Orange, CA, USA.
Purpose: To investigate the safety and refractive outcomes of neodymium-doped yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) capsulotomy in pseudophakic eyes with the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) both before and after completing the light delivery device (LDD) lock-in treatments.
Setting: Private practice in Orange, California, USA.
Design: Retrospective, comparative study.
Purpose: The light adjustable lens (LAL) (RxSight, Aliso Viejo, CA) is a premium intraocular lens that allows for correction of residual refractive error and astigmatism following implantation. Herein, we describe the surgical approach and evaluate the visual outcomes of patients following scleral fixation of the LAL.
Methods: Retrospective, single-surgeon surgical case series of 3 patients (3 eyes) with intraocular lens complications, who underwent combined pars plana vitrectomy and sutureless needle assisted intrascleral haptic fixation of the LAL between April 2022, to August 2023.

Intraocular lenses (IOLs) play a pivotal role in restoring vision following cataract surgery. The evolution of polymeric biomaterials has been central to addressing challenges such as biocompatibility, optical clarity, mechanical stability, and resistance to opacification. This review explores essential requirements for IOL biomaterials, emphasizing their ability to mitigate complications like posterior capsule opacification (PCO) and dysphotopsias while maintaining long-term durability and visual quality.

Refractive error is a key determinant of visual acuity post-cataract surgery. Traditional methods for addressing refractive errors have been invasive, posing the risk of permanent surgical complications. Thus, the pursuit of non-invasive techniques for correcting refractive errors after cataract surgery is of significant clinical importance.
