What Is Lens Replacement Surgery and Who Is It For?
Lens replacement surgery, also known as refractive lens exchange (RLE), is a highly effective procedure that replaces your eye’s natural lens with a clear artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This treatment is identical to modern cataract surgery, with the key difference being the primary aim:
- Lens replacement surgery is performed to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses, often before a cataract has formed.
- Cataract surgery is performed to restore vision clouded by a cataract.
Lens replacement is ideal for individuals over 50 who wish to correct presbyopia, short-sightedness, long-sightedness, or astigmatism – especially when laser eye surgery is not suitable. It also eliminates the need for cataract surgery later in life.
