Lens Replacement Surgery
Lens Replacement Surgery, also known as refractive lens exchange (RLE), is a transformative procedure designed to correct vision problems and provide lasting clarity. At Pure Vision Clinic, our expert ophthalmologists deliver personalized treatments using advanced techniques to help you achieve optimal results. Discover the benefits of Lens Replacement Surgery and why it might be the perfect solution for your visual needs.
What Is Lens Replacement Surgery?
Lens Replacement Surgery is a procedure that replaces your eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). It is typically recommended for individuals experiencing presbyopia, severe farsightedness, or astigmatism, and for those who are not ideal candidates for laser eye surgery. This procedure is often performed to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses and prevent conditions like cataracts in the future.
Who Can Benefit from Lens Replacement Surgery?
You may be a suitable candidate for Lens Replacement Surgery if you:
- Have difficulty focusing on objects at various distances.
- Are over 40 and experiencing age-related vision changes.
- Want a permanent solution to vision correction.
- Are not eligible for LASIK or other laser vision correction procedures.
- Have cataracts or are at risk of developing them in the future.
Our specialists will conduct a thorough eye examination to determine if this procedure is right for you.
