What is Refractive Lens Exchange Surgery?
Refractive lens exchange (RLE) is a vision correction surgery that is designed to address nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It works by replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). The lens will be customized to address your refractive errors and allow you to say goodbye to the constant use of glasses and contact lenses.
During your refractive lens exchange surgery at Ginsberg Eye, Dr. Ginsberg will use ultrasound and a femtosecond laser to carefully remove your natural lens and replace it with the right IOL for you. The lens implant options we offer include monofocal, multifocal IOLs, and extended depth of focus.
Who is a Candidate for Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)?
If you are struggling with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism and are not a good candidate for LASIK or PRK surgery, you are likely a perfect candidate for refractive lens exchange. However, at Ginsberg Eye, there are certain criteria we follow to determine if this is the right treatment option for you.
Ideal Candidates for Refractive Lens Exchange in Estero Are:
- In good overall health
- 45 years old or older
- Don’t have any major eye diseases
- Looking to reduce your use of glasses and contact lenses
Refractive Lens Exchange Benefits
Refractive lens exchange in Estero offers several benefits, including the following:
- Better vision: With RLE, you can look forward to having better vision after the procedure. Your refractive errors will be addressed, allowing you to see clearly for almost all your daily tasks.
- Long-lasting results: The results of RLE are permanent. The custom lenses last a lifetime, so you never have to worry about needing to replace them.
- Less reliance on glasses and contact lenses: The benefit that most of our patients look forward to is not having to worry about constantly wearing glasses or contact lenses. You may still need them for certain tasks, like reading, but they won’t be a consistent requirement.
- No more cataracts: Because we are removing your natural lens, you no longer have to worry about cataracts or future cataract surgery either.
- Customizable: The intraocular lens used during RLE is entirely customizable. Based on your unique vision needs, Dr. Ginsberg will tailor the IOL to you.
