Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a common procedure during which the existing lens - which may have hardened over time - is replaced with a new one that is precisely customised to your individual requirements. Refractive eye surgery enables simultaneous correction of both long and short-sightedness. RLE restores your ability to focus on an object in the distance or see things clearly close up - when reading a newspaper for example.

At Optegra, we have many different types of lenses which will help restore your focusing power without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Your refractive eye surgeon will analyse the results of the eye examinations you will receive during your free consultation. They will then be able to select the treatment and lens to your exact specification and requirements.

Regaining your focus without the need for glasses or contact lenses really is a possibility with Refractive Lens Exchange eye surgery.

The additional benefit of Refractive Lens Exchange is the fact that you will never develop cataracts later in life, as your natural lens in replaced with an artificial one during the procedure.
