While light-adjustable lenses dramatically improve visual clarity and drastically reduce the need for corrective eyewear, whether a patient will still require glasses depends heavily on their personal visual goals, lifestyle requirements, and pre-existing eye conditions. Many recipients achieve excellent distance vision without glasses, though some may still prefer or require lightweight reading glasses for close-up computer work or fine print. Ophthalmologists work closely with patients during the post-operative light treatment adjustments to customize the lens power for monovision or distance correction based on individual preferences.
