The natural crystalline lens in the eye is quite elastic and can change its shape to focus on. As we age, the lens becomes more rigid, and seeing objects up close can become more of a challenge.

Recent advances in refractive surgery allow for a customizable solution to this age-old problem. In an outpatient surgery similar to cataract surgery, a refractive lens exchange (RLE) swaps your lens for a state-of-the-art artificial one that includes all the bells and whistles to fine-tune your vision. The clear vision you receive from your RLE investment will be the vision you have for the rest of your life, with no need for cataract surgery later.
