REFRACTIVE LENS EXCHANGE

As we age, the lens inside our eye loses its ability to focus both near and far. Refractive Lens Exchange corrects nearsightedness or farsightedness by replacing the eye's natural lens, which has the wrong power, with an artificial intra-ocular lens (IOL) implant that has the correct power for the eye.

Refractive Lens Exchange is a surgical procedure that uses the same successful techniques of modern cataract surgery. These surgical techniques have evolved and improved dramatically over the last 20 years. Cataract surgery is now the most common surgical procedure performed in medicine today.

Refractive Lens Exchange is for those who:

Want to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contacts.
May not be a good candidate for laser vision correction.
Are 18+ years of age.
Have no health issues affecting their eyes.
