In this episode of the Doc2Doc podcast, Derek Jacobsen, O.D., and Lance Stutz, M.D., from Desert Vista Eye Specialists in Arizona discuss Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) technology. They explain how LALs, which allow for post-operative vision fine-tuning using UV light, offer patients a customizable and precise refractive outcome following cataract surgery.
The conversation covers ideal patient candidates, the post-operative journey, co-management between optometrists and ophthalmologists, surgical tips, potential complications and how LALs compare to other premium intraocular lenses. The doctors emphasize the importance of setting patient expectations, managing dry eye and investing in strong collaboration to ensure optimal outcomes. They also share optimism about the future of LAL technology and its potential to become a standard in vision correction.
