Refractive Lens Exchange: A Clearer Vision for Life Starts Here
Are you over 40 and tired of juggling reading glasses or bifocals? If you want crisp, clear vision without the need for corrective lenses, Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) at Restore Surgical Centre could be your solution.
What Is Refractive Lens Exchange?
Refractive Lens Exchange is a vision correction procedure that replaces your eye’s natural lens with an advanced artificial intraocular lens (IOL). It’s similar to cataract surgery—but performed before a cataract develops. RLE can correct:
- Nearsightedness
- Farsightedness
- Astigmatism
- Presbyopia (age-related loss of near vision)
Benefits of Refractive Lens Exchange
- Freedom from Glasses or Contacts: Enjoy daily life without reaching for your specs.
- Permanent Vision Correction: Once your natural lens is replaced, it won’t cloud again like in cataracts.
- Prevents Future Cataracts: RLE eliminates the chance of cataracts forming in the future.
- Custom Lens Options: Choose from monofocal, multifocal, or toric lenses tailored to your lifestyle.
Who’s a Good Candidate for RLE?
Ideal candidates for RLE are individuals over 40 who:
- Have strong refractive errors not well-suited for LASIK or PRK
- Want to correct presbyopia (difficulty reading up close)
- Are seeking a long-term solution to aging vision
During your consultation at Restore Surgical Centre, we’ll assess your eyes and determine the best lens type for your needs.
