About Naples
Naples is a city on the Gulf of Mexico in southwest Florida and is most well-known for its high-end shopping and golf courses (it’s considered the Golf Capital of the World). It’s home to a population of almost 20,000 residents. You can also find various white-sand beaches and many waterfront homes. The beaches include Clam Pass Beach Park, Vanderbilt Beach, and Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park. It’s also home to the Everglades, Naples Botanical Garden, and many fine dining establishments.
What is Refractive Lens Replacement (RLE)?
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a laser vision correction procedure that is used to correct refractive errors like nearsightedness or farsightedness. The refractive lens exchange surgery is perfect for patients looking to eliminate or at least reduce the need for contact lenses or glasses. Even if you have a powerful prescription lens, RLE can significantly improve your eyesight.
During the refractive surgery procedure, the natural lens is replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL) that is designed to correct your unique refractive errors. And unlike glasses or contact lenses, the lens implant is permanent.
Who is a Good Candidate for the RLE procedure?
Most patients who are struggling with refractive errors that are more extreme are candidates for RLE and replacement lenses, but we follow certain criteria to determine if this is the right treatment option for you.
Ideal Candidates for the Refractive Lens Exchange Procedure in Naples Are:
- In good overall health
- Over the age of 45
- Not a good candidate for LASIK
- Want to rely less on glasses or contacts
- Looking for long-lasting results
If you have corneal disease, age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, or certain risk factors for retinal detachment, this laser eye surgery is likely not the right option for you.
RLE Benefits
RLE in Naples offers several different benefits, including the following:
- Improved quality of life: Many patients notice a significant improvement in their quality of life. By being able to better see the world around you (especially without glasses or contacts), you may notice a vast improvement in your overall life.
- Be free of glasses and contacts: One of the benefits that many patients look forward to after RLE surgery is not having to worry about wearing glasses and contacts. No need to constantly worry about cleaning contact lenses or eyeglasses, or having them fall out or fall off.
- Long-lasting results: The IOLs that are implanted during RLE surgery are completely permanent, so you can enjoy your new crystal-clear eyes for years to come.
- No need to worry about cataracts: Because cataracts only form on the eye’s natural lenses (not IOLs), you no longer need to be concerned about cataracts or cataract surgery once you have RLE surgery.
