Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), also known as Clear Lens Exchange or Lens Replacement Surgery, is a surgical procedure that can correct a wide range of vision problems, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and presbyopia. Unlike LASIK or PRK, which reshape the cornea, RLE involves the removal of the natural lens and replacement with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This post will explore the factors determining whether you are a good candidate for refractive lens exchange. Understanding these considerations will help you determine if RLE is the right choice for achieving a clear and improved vision.
