Refractive Lens Exchange

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a vision correction procedure that replaces the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Similar to cataract surgery but performed before cataracts develop, RLE is an excellent option for patients with high refractive errors, presbyopia, or those who are not candidates for LASIK or PRK. Advanced IOL options, including multifocal, extended depth of focus, and toric lenses, can enhance vision at multiple distances and correct astigmatism. RLE provides a long-term solution for clear vision while also preventing future cataract development.
