Can Lens Exchanged be done using a laser?
No. The natural lens of the eye must be physically removed and this can only be done surgically. The intra ocular lens implant is then inserted into the eye to replace the natural lens and to alter the focus of the eye. Sometimes following Lens Exchange (and cataract) surgery a membrane within the eye can be come opaque. This is called “posterior capsule opacification”. Where necessary a laser can be used to treat this.
