Imagine having cataract surgery and then being able to personalize your final vision. 👀
The Light Adjustable Lens makes that exact experience possible. Unlike non-adjustable lenses, which are chosen before surgery, the LAL can be modified afterward to match your unique healing response and vision goals. These postoperative adjustments allow us to correct any remaining nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism with remarkable precision.

We understand what it's like to wear glasses or contacts day after day, which is why our entire team is dedicated to creating a personalized and supportive experience.

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is one of the most effective ways for patients to reduce or even eliminate the need for glasses or contact lenses, especially for those who are not ideal candidates for laser vision correction. 👏
During this procedure, the natural lens of the eye is replaced with a highly advanced artificial lens that enhances clarity at one or more distances. We offer a full range of premium lens options, including the following:
→ Light Adjustable Lens
→ Multifocal
→ Extended Range
→ Toric
→ Small Aperture lenses.
Each technology is designed to correct specific visual needs and help patients enjoy crisp and reliable vision. RLE is particularly valuable for patients over 40 who rely heavily on reading glasses or bifocals and are seeking a lasting solution that provides greater visual freedom.

Curious how astigmatism affects your vision correction options? 👀
Astigmatism simply means your eye is shaped more like a football than a basketball, creating blurred vision at multiple distances. With the FDA-approved EVO ICL, patients can now safely correct both myopia and astigmatism in one seamless procedure.

We’re so grateful for amazing patients like this! 🙌👏 Read the full testimonial below!
"I recently had Light Adjustable Lens surgery. From start to finish- the surgery, the adjustments, and the final lockdown was an amazing experience. Honestly one of the best decisions I have ever made. Every day I enjoy my new eyesight with such clarity. I was anxious going into surgery, but the Surgery Center staff, from the front desk to the nurse care were all professional and made me feel at ease. Dr Shamie was there to explain the process again before going into surgery. The surgery itself was quick, comfortable and completely painless. Within 24 hours of surgery my eyesight was essentially monovision perfect, requiring only minor adjustments. I cannot express enough gratitude to all the staff for their care performing the vision checks, adjustments and final lockdown procedures. A singularly great team at the Vision Institute." - Patient Testimonial
