About Semel Vision Care & Aesthetics

Premium Eye Care in El Segundo, Manhattan Beach, & Redondo Beach

At Semel Vision Care & Aesthetics, we are proud to offer the RxSight® Light Adjustable Lens™ in El Segundo, the first and only intraocular lens that lets you customize your vision after cataract surgery.

Serving patients throughout the Los Angeles South Bay, including Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach, board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Jane Semel and our expert team provide personalized eye care designed to achieve your best possible visual outcome.

What Is the RxSight Light Adjustable Lens?

The RxSight Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) is an innovative photosensitive intraocular lens (IOL) that allows you and your doctor to customize your vision after your eye has healed from cataract surgery. Because the Light Adjustable Lens is made of a special material, it changes the shape and power of your implanted lens in response to ultraviolet (UV) light. Unlike traditional, non-adjustable IOLs, the LAL gives you and your doctor the ability to adjust and preview your vision outcomes based on your lifestyle and preferences.

How the Light Adjustable Lens Works

The cataract removal and IOL implantation process is the same as if you selected a non-adjustable IOL. Then, in the weeks that follow, Dr. Semel will customize your vision through a series of non-invasive light treatments that take only a few minutes each.
Most patients need three to five treatments over one to two weeks to reach their desired vision goals. Once optimal clarity is attained, a final “lock-in” treatment stabilizes your results for lasting precision.

LAL Benefits & Outcomes

As the leading provider of adjustable IOLs in the South Bay, we help patients achieve premium, personalized vision enhancement. The Light Adjustable Lens delivers superior vision outcomes that non-adjustable IOLs cannot match. In a clinical study, the majority of patients who received the Light Adjustable Lens achieved 20/20 or better vision at six months without glasses.

Additional advantages include:

  • Vision customized to your personal needs and lifestyle
  • Ability to preview your results before final lock-in
  • Non-invasive, in-office adjustment process
  • Long-term clarity and freedom from glasses for many patients
