Q&A with Restore Surgical Centre: Insight on RLE & Blepharoplasty
In this exclusive Q&A, we sit down with Restore Surgical Centre in Kelowna to answer the most common questions about Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) and blepharoplasty.
Q: What makes RLE different from LASIK?
A: LASIK reshapes the cornea, while RLE replaces the eye’s natural lens. RLE is better for people over 50 who want to correct presbyopia and prevent cataracts.
Q: How do I know if I need blepharoplasty?
A: If drooping eyelids affect your vision or make your eyes feel heavy, it might be time to consider it. Cosmetic goals are also valid reasons.
Q: What’s the recovery like for each procedure?
A: RLE recovery is quick, with many patients seeing clearly within 24–48 hours. Blepharoplasty recovery takes 1–2 weeks, with final results in a few months.
Q: Can I have both procedures?
A: Yes, many patients benefit from combining vision correction and cosmetic enhancement for a complete eye rejuvenation.
