In a prospective clinical study, the Calhoun Vision Light Adjustable Lens was implanted at the end of cataract removal, and the power adjusted with one or two UV irradiation treatments followed by a final treatment that stabilized the refractive outcome. At 4 months after the stabilization lock-in procedure, the spherical equivalent refraction was ±0.25 D in 60%, ±0.50 D in 88%, and ±1.00 D in 100% of eyes, based upon the intended outcome.
