Refractive

Refractive Surgery-----0

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), also known as Clear Lens Extraction, is a surgical procedure used to treat individuals with high refractive errors (extreme nearsightedness, farsightedness, or presbyopia). In RLE, the natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), which can correct vision and provide clear eyesight without the need for glasses or contact lenses.

Who Can Benefit from RLE?

  • Are over the age of 40 and experiencing presbyopia (difficulty focusing on near objects).
  • Have extreme nearsightedness (myopia) or farsightedness (hyperopia).

  • Are not candidates for LASIK, PRK, or ICL due to thin corneas or other eye conditions.

  • Want freedom from glasses or contact lenses.

  • Have no major eye diseases like glaucoma or cataracts.

How RLE Works
  1. Consultation and Assessment – A comprehensive eye exam is conducted to determine if RLE is the best solution for your vision correction.

  2. Lens Removal – The natural lens of the eye is gently removed.

  3. IOL Implantation – An artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted into the eye to replace the natural lens.

  4. Recovery – Most patients experience rapid recovery and can resume regular activities within a few days.
