Because the RxSight Light Adjustable Lens is made from advanced light-sensitive material, its shape and power can be modified using UV (ultraviolet) light. These lenses are implanted into the eye the same way other IOLs are, with a quick 15-minute surgery that makes a small incision in the side of the cornea.

First, your eyes will be numbed to prevent any discomfort during the procedure. A small incision is made in the side of the cornea to remove the cataract. After this, the RxSight lens is inserted into the opening to replace the old, damaged natural lens. In the following weeks, Dr. Young or Dr. Waters will customize your vision with about 3 – 5 light treatments over a 1 – 2 week period. Once you've achieved optimal vision, a final treatment locks in your results. This can deliver amazing outcomes that other traditional IOLs simply cannot match.

Ideal candidates to receive the RxSight Light Adjustable Lens include patients who need cataract surgery and also may have refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia, or presbyopia (age-related vision loss). Typical candidates should also want to treat their cataracts and achieve clearer vision with less reliance on glasses and contacts. They should have good overall eye health (besides their cataracts) and realistic expectations of their treatment. During your consultation at our San Antonio, TX practice, Dr. Young or Dr. Waters will examine your eyes and ocular health to determine if RxSight Light Adjustable Lenses are right for you.

The RxSight Light Adjustable Lens has helped thousands of cataract patients achieve dramatically crisper vision — all by harnessing the power of light and advanced photosensitive materials. With its ability to be tweaked and fine-tuned, this lens is helping our San Antonio, TX, patients see clearer and better than ever.
