About Bonita Springs

Bonita Springs is a city in southwest Florida with a population of a little over 56,000. It’s known for its many beaches and parks along the Gulf of Mexico, including the Little Hickory Island Beach Park and Bonita Beach Park, its laid-back vibe, and its natural beauty. Because of the number of natural habitats, it’s a go-to destination for those looking to golf, fish, and kayak at the Imperial River. It’s also home to the Wonder Gardens, the Bonita Springs Farmers Market, and the Promenade at Bonita Bay.

What is Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)?

Refractive lens exchange (RLE) is a laser vision correction surgery that is designed to address nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It works by replacing the natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) implant. The type of implant used depends on the refractive errors you’re struggling with. The IOL options we offer at Ginsberg Eye include monofocal, toric, multifocal, extended depth of focus, and light adjustable lens.

Who is a Candidate for Refractive Lens Exchange Surgery?

Most patients with significant prescriptions and extreme or severe nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism are good candidates for RLE. That said, there are some specific criteria we follow to determine eligibility for this surgical procedure.

Ideal Candidates for the RLE Procedure in Bonita Springs Are:

  • In good overall health
  • Want to rely less on glasses and/or contact lenses
  • Over the age of 45
  • Have an appropriate corneal thickness
  • Need an alternative to LASIK surgery or PRK

If you have corneal disease, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or risk factors for retinal detachment, RLE may not be the right option for your needs.

RLE Benefits

RLE in Bonita Springs offers several benefits:

  • Less of a need for glasses and contacts: One of the major benefits of RLE is that most patients don’t need to wear glasses or contact lenses any longer. Your vision will likely be crystal-clear without the need for extra help.
  • No need to worry about cataracts: Cataracts only form on the eye’s natural lens. Without your natural lens, you don’t have to worry about developing cataracts or having cataract surgery.
  • Long-lasting results: The IOLs that are implanted into the eye are permanent, meaning you can enjoy your new, sharp vision for years to come.
