ALISO VIEJO, Calif., April 04, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (NASDAQ: RXST) – RxSight, Inc., an ophthalmic medical device company dedicated to providing high-quality customized vision to patients following cataract surgery, today announced the commercial launch of its newest Light Adjustable Lens, the LAL+. The company now offers two lenses in the Light Adjustable Lens platform: the LAL® and the Light Adjustable Lens+™ (LAL+).
