Abstract
Refractive error is a key determinant of visual acuity post-cataract surgery. Traditional methods for addressing refractive errors have been invasive, posing the risk of permanent surgical complications. Thus, the pursuit of non-invasive techniques for correcting refractive errors after cataract surgery is of significant clinical importance. Recently, a novel class of intraocular lenses (IOL), termed light-adjustable IOL, has emerged as a potential solution for refining refractive outcomes. These IOL possess the unique ability to alter their dioptric power in vitro through exposure to specific wavelengths of light, facilitating a non-invasive approach to refractive error correction. The landscape of light-adjustable IOL is diverse, encompassing ultraviolet light-adjustable IOL, novel nitinol-based thermomechanically adjustable IOL, IOL with refractive index changes induced by femtosecond lasers, and IOL utilizing two-photon effects for dioptric adjustment. This review article aims to summarize the advancements in light-adjustable lenses, providing insights and references for ongoing research and clinical practice in this field.
