Скачать или смотреть Full Webinar: The Light Adjustable Lens Platform

This conversation is about the Light Adjustable Lens™ Platform and its use in cataract surgery. John Vukich, MD, and Nick Bruns, OD, talk with Matt Jensen, principal of MJM and Marjen, about the differences between the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL™) and the LAL+™, as well as the benefits and challenges of using this technology.

The panelists share their experiences and success with the LAL, noting that it has replaced multifocal lenses in their practice. They also discuss the optics and outcomes of the LAL, including its ability to provide extended depth of focus with blended vision and reduce dysphotopsia. The conversation touches on topics such as patient satisfaction, team collaboration, and handling patients with small pupils.

The speakers discuss the transition from other lenses to the LAL, the differences between the LAL and the LAL+, surgical targeting, managing patient expectations, and the use of FLACS. They also talk about the process of scheduling LAL patients and the importance of teamwork in delivering quality care. Overall, the conversation highlights the benefits and considerations of using the LAL for most cataract patients.
