What is Refractive lens exchange?

Refractive lens exchange is an operation that replaces the eye's natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens to reduce the need for glasses. The technique is the same as cataract surgery, performed before a cataract has formed.

Practices market refractive lens exchange under several names, including clear lens exchange and custom lens replacement. It is lens surgery, so it is usually offered by practices that also perform cataract surgery.

This page explains the procedure and shows who performs it. It is general information, not medical advice. Whether it suits your eyes is a decision for you and an ophthalmologist who has examined them.
