What is Clear Lens Extraction?
This outpatient surgical procedure is usually reserved for patients with amounts of nearsightedness and farsightedness beyond the FDA approved treatment parameters for laser vision correction. It involves the removal of the clear, noncataractous natural lens of the eye as a refractive procedure with or without the replacement of an intraocular lens implant. Clear Lens Extraction, also called Refractive Lensectomy or Refractive Lens Exchange has a slightly increased risk of complications because it is an intraocular procedure, but is a very stable procedure and an excellent alternative for select patients.
