CATARACT TREATMENTS /

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)

Refractive Lens Exchange is a surgical procedure where the natural crystalline lens is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens.This clear artificial lens is also called an Intra Ocular Lens (IOL) and it corrects the optical power of the eye. This means that you will no longer depend on glasses or contact lenses to see well.

How long does the RLE procedure take? Is it safe?

RLE procedure only takes our experienced surgeons not more than 30 minutes to complete. RLE is usually done one eye at a time.

Being the most common surgical procedure in the world, RLE is performed approximately on 1.5 million people every year. It is the only safe and proven treatment for Cataract.

RLE Procedures

STEP 1

A micro incision of 3mm is made on the cornea. An ultrasonic tip is inserted through the micro incision to soften and remove the natural crystalline lens.

STEP 2

Once the natural crystalline lens has been completely removed, the artificial lens is inserted gently to restore vision. Because of the micro incision, there is no need for stitches to seal the opening.
