    The light-adjustable lens (LAL) allows non-invasive postoperative modification of IOL power by up to 3 Dioptres.

  • 2

    Postoperative adherence to UV protection is critical to prevent unintended premature photopolymerisation of the LAL.

  • 3

    Noncompliance with UV protection can lead to reduced visual acuity and visual disturbances, necessitating lens exchange.

  • 4

    Reports indicate refractive dissatisfaction and visual disturbances can occur after the final lock-in treatment of the LAL.

  • 5

    Optics-related adverse events from the LAL may be irreversible and could require lens explantation.
