Dr. Reena Patel, M.D. of Wichita Vision Institute P.A. is the First in Wichita to Offer Light Adjustable Lens™ to Cataract Patients in Kansas
Cataract surgery is the most performed procedure in the United States. About 50% of Americans will develop cataracts by age 75, a percentage that is projected to increase as life expectancies continue to rise. Cataracts form when the proteins and fibers in the eye’s natural lens begin to break down, causing hazy or cloudy vision.
Once begun, cataracts only worsen until surgery is necessary. During surgery, a patient’s natural lens is removed and replaced with a clear synthetic one. Until now, surgeons relied upon the accuracy of pre-surgery measurements to determine a patient’s post-operative prescription power. RxSight’s Light Adjustable Lens is changing that with the ability to customize vision after surgery. Studies show that patients who receive the LAL and the recommended post-surgery treatments were more likely to achieve 20/20 vision or better without glasses compared to cataract patients who have standard lens implants. https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/cdrh_docs/pdf16/P160055B.pdf The LAL is made of proprietary material that can be adjusted post-surgery using the RxSight Light Delivery Device to deliver targeted ultraviolet light treatments. The LAL can be adjusted to meet every patient’s lifestyle and needs. “Small variations happen in most eyes during healing. With the LAL, cataract patients can test drive their vision and we can post-operatively correct those variations and give patients vision that is customized for their specific needs,” said Dr. Patel.
