Fine-Tune Your Vision After Cataract Surgery
One of the most exciting advancements in cataract surgery is the light adjustable lens (LAL). Imagine being able to fine-tune your vision even after cataract surgery—that’s the power of the LAL.
This technology allows Dr. Powell to make precise adjustments to your vision post-surgery, helping you achieve clear, healthy vision. The LAL provides the flexibility and precision that traditional lenses often can’t.
At Joshua Powell MD, we’re committed to offering innovative advancements in eye care, and the Light Adjustable Lens is just one example of how we put you in control of your vision. Contact us to schedule your consultation today and learn if the LAL procedure is right for you.

What Is the Light Adjustable Lens?
The light-adjustable lens (LAL) is an intraocular lens (IOL) used during cataract surgery. Unlike traditional IOLs, the LAL can be adjusted post-surgery using light, allowing for more fine-tuned visual results.
This means that after your surgery, Dr. Powell can use a special UV light to safely reshape the lens to improve your vision, helping you achieve the best results. We offer the Tecnic Symfony IOL at Joshua Powell MD.
How Does the Light Adjustable Lens Work?
After cataract surgery, when the LAL has been implanted, Dr. Powell will schedule follow-up visits where adjustments can be made using a precise light treatment. The process is completely safe and pain-free. A series of light treatments can refine the focus of your vision, whether you need to improve distance, intermediate, or near vision.
This customization is particularly beneficial for people who may have specific visual needs or have experienced unexpected visual results from traditional IOLs.
The ability to “fine-tune” the lens to your exact prescription is a game-changer, especially for those who want to reduce or eliminate their dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
Who Is a Candidate for the Light Adjustable Lens?
The Light Adjustable Lens is ideal for patients undergoing cataract surgery who want more flexibility and precision in their post-surgical visual outcome. It is especially beneficial for those looking for a more customized result or those with complex visual needs that cannot be fully addressed with standard IOLs.
During your consultation, Dr. Powell will assess your eye health, cataract condition, and visual goals to determine if the LAL is the right choice for you.

In addition to the Light Adjustable Lens, Dr. Powell offers a variety of modern cataract surgery options, including:
- TECNIS Symfony IOL: One of the world’s first extended depth of focus (EDOF) presbyopia-correcting lenses, designed to provide continuous vision at any distance, improving both near and far vision.
