Light adjustable intraocular lenses: an updated platform for cataract surgery.

Purpose Of Review: Light adjustable intraocular lenses (LALs) are a relatively new platform for cataract surgery that is shifting the paradigm for intraocular lens placement following cataract removal.

Recent Findings: LALs may have additional utility in patients with prior refractive surgery and complex ocular conditions, as they give the surgeon greater latitude in preoperative intraocular power calculations to meet postoperative refractive goals.

Summary: Further study of best candidates for LALs is warranted. Current best candidates are patients who can comply with treatment and have decreased accuracy in calculating the preoperative intraocular power requirement.
