Refractive Lens Exchange surgery (RLE) is a non-laser, internal eye procedure that is performed the same way as cataract surgery, only patients do not have cataracts yet. During this procedure, the eye’s clear, natural lens is removed and is replaced with a monofocal or multifocal artificial lens. The two multifocal lenses used by Dr. Jaben are the AcrySof® ReSTOR® and ReZOOM lenses.
