program name: Chukyo Eye Clinic / The world's first intraocular lens (LAL) that can pursue the way of seeing after cataract surgery

genre

program details: In a general cataract surgery, the patient's vision is determined before the surgery, but the Light Adjustable Lens™ is the world's first intraocular lens that allows patients to pursue their desired vision after cataract surgery.
With this lens, the patient can determine the power of the lens to fit his or her desired vision and lifestyle while experiencing how the vision will look in actual daily life. After the wound has healed, the lens is adjusted after cataract surgery, and the power is changed with a special device called a light delivery device (LDD) that emits ultraviolet light for several minutes.
Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) and Light Delivery Device (LDD) have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

precaution, contraindication: ・After the surgery, you will need to wear special UV-cut glasses for approximately one month (until 24 hours after the last power-fixing irradiation). To prevent the lens power from being affected, you will need to avoid exposure to strong ultraviolet rays as much as possible.
・In addition to the usual postoperative checkups, you will need to visit the hospital for UV irradiation.
・Patients with UV sensitivity or taking medications that make them sensitive to light may not be able to undergo the procedure.
