What is a Refractive Lens Exchange?

A Refractive Lens Exchange is quite similar to a Cataract Extraction. Let’s illustrate how. With a Cataract Extraction, the eye’s cloudy lens is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens implant. With a Refractive Lens Exchange the eye’s normal lens (which has not yet become cloudy) is replaced with an intraocular lens implant. Intraocular implants have improved greatly over the last few years and can correct both near, intermediate and far vision. And after the procedure, there is an excellent chance you will be able to enjoy a glasses-free life.
