The light-adjustable lens is the first Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-approved product from an entirely new category of intraocular lenses (IOLs). The 3-piece foldable silicone light-adjustable lens is implanted through a small incision after phacoemulsification. A slit-lamp-based digital light delivery device is used to adjust and then lock-in the IOL power during the first postoperative month. Up to 4.5 diopters (D) of cylindrical or spherical adjustment can be achieved. This should offer significant advantages in difficult IOL power calculation cases, such as postrefractive eyes. In addition to achieving better refractive accuracy, an adjustable IOL will now allow patients to test and elect a different refractive target postoperatively. This paradigm shift will change how cataract patients choose their refractive objectives, and how ophthalmologists will be able to achieve them. For example, adjustable IOLs may increase the popularity of pseudophakic monovision and bilateral same-day sequential surgery. For those electing adjustable IOL, preoperative patient counseling will change and certain pre- and intraoperative technologies, such as intraoperative aberrometry and digital astigmatic axis marking, would become superfluous.
