Refractive Lens Exchange
What is Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)?
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a surgical procedure that replaces the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct refractive errors such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, RLE focuses on replacing the lens to improve vision. It is often recommended for people who are not ideal candidates for laser eye surgery, particularly those over 40 who are developing presbyopia or have early signs of cataracts. RLE can reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses and prevent cataracts from forming in the future.

Vision Problems Over Age 45?
As you age, the natural lens in your eye may become less effective, leading to the need for glasses or contacts to see clearly at a distance, and readers for close-up vision. Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) offers a permanent solution by replacing your natural lens, allowing you to eliminate the need for glasses entirely. Additionally, RLE ensures that you will never develop cataracts in the future!
