Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive lens exchange (RLE) is a procedure that can be used for presbyopia correction. In this procedure, the eye’s natural lens is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL) that’s identical to the type of IOL used in cataract surgery.
Refractive lens exchange can correct presbyopia by replacing the eye’s natural lens with a multifocal intraocular lens or an accommodative intraocular lens. In addition to providing clear distance vision, these premium intraocular lenses help restore near vision as well.
