Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
Lens Replacement Surgery
The crystalline lenses we are born with are marvels of nature. They autofocus on objects near and far. If reading glasses allow you to see at, say 25 cm; natural lenses can focus at 24 cm, 26, 24.9, 25.1…& everywhere in between. Until age 45, we have many different powers of reading glasses built right into our eyes! After 45, all these variable lens powers go away, leaving you with dysfunctional clear lenses that aren’t yet cataracts, but require you to wear reading glasses or bifocals. Refractive lens exchange is cataract surgery done ahead of time, replacing dysfunctional clear lenses with multifocal acrylic lenses that obviate the need for glasses & eliminate future cataracts. It’s one and done! But unlike your friends, who wait for cataracts to get surgery, you can enjoy the benefits of multifocal lenses and lead a glasses independent existence for years longer, while they are still struggling to find their reading glasses!

How it works.
During Refractive Lens Exchange, your dysfunctional lens is replaced by a new artificial intraocular lens. The implant is not outwardly visible but drastically improves vision. We use many different types for lenses and choose based on your specific visual needs.
You are a RLE candidate if:
- You are presbyopic and need readers or bifocals to see,
- You are ready to get rid of readers or bifocals.
