Stabilized LAL Volumes and Customer Reengagement Progress
LAL unit volumes of 27,472 in Q1 were in line with the year-ago period and represent stabilization for the third consecutive quarter; management reported early, localized success from customer reengagement programs (clinical outcome reviews, counseling training, workflow support) and expects sequential improvement through the year.
Revenue Mix and Gross Margin Expansion
Higher mix of LAL revenue led to a gross margin of 76.1% in Q1 versus 74.8% a year ago (approx +1.3 percentage points), reflecting stronger LAL contribution (LAL sales approx $27M, ~88% of total sales).
Key Commercial Milestone — 300,000 LAL Implants
Company announced an important adoption milestone of 300,000 Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) implants since U.S. commercialization, supporting clinical traction and market penetration.
Conservative but Maintained Full-Year Guidance
RxSight reiterated full-year 2026 revenue guidance of $120 million to $135 million and gross margin guidance of 70% to 72%, indicating management confidence in achieving previously communicated targets despite near-term headwinds.
International Expansion Progress
Received regulatory approval in New Zealand and noted early commercial introductions and growing awareness in markets such as Korea, Singapore, Europe, Australia and New Zealand; management expects international to be a modest contributor in 2026 with more meaningful impact in 2027+.
Strong Clinician Preference Signal
Survey data cited on the call showed nearly 80% of ophthalmologists and optometrists would choose the LAL for themselves or a loved one, reinforcing perceived clinical differentiation and potential demand.
