Experience Refractive Lens Exchange for Vision Clarity

Refractive lens exchange is a procedure designed to correct vision by replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens. This option is especially beneficial for those with presbyopia or high refractive errors.

What Is Refractive Lens Exchange?

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a surgical procedure that involves replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This is done to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and presbyopia. Unlike LASIK or PRK, which reshape the cornea, RLE addresses vision issues by targeting the lens itself. The procedure is similar to cataract surgery but is performed to improve vision before cataracts develop. RLE is particularly suitable for individuals over 40 who want to reduce their dependence on glasses or contacts.

How Does Refractive Lens Exchange Work?

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) starts with numbing eye drops for comfort. A small incision is made at the edge of the cornea to remove the natural lens, which is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) designed to correct refractive errors. The incision is self-sealing and typically does not require stitches, which helps reduce infection risk and speeds up recovery. The procedure takes about 15-30 minutes per eye, and most patients notice improved vision within a few days to a week. Follow-up visits are scheduled to monitor healing and ensure optimal results.

Benefits of Refractive Lens Exchange
