Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
Unlike laser vision correction procedures that alter the shape of the cornea, a refractive lens exchange (RLE) changes the focusing power within the eye. With this procedure, the content of the eye’s natural lens is removed and replaced by a soft artificial lens implant which has been designed to provide clear focusing ability. The artificial lens remains within the eye without needing cataract surgery later in life. The new lens provides a wide range of focus based on each individual’s needs, occupation, and lifestyle. Excellent distant, intermediate, and near vision can be achieved with an IOL.
