Refractive Lens Exchange (Clear Lens Extraction)

Marilyn Haddrill additional contributions and review by Dr. Brian Boxer Wachler

A Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), ophthalmology, natural lens of the eye is replaced by an artificial attention.

While RLE is not technically the Food and Drug Administration approval, the U.S., some surgeons in some cases, the process is off-label use. This type of use is perfectly legal and sometimes a convenient way for the correction of vision surgery is planned, especially for seniors and youth under some circumstances.

Refractive Lens Exchange for the elderly

People in middle age or older, may have the onset of cataracts could eventually deteriorate and natural lens of the eye cloud. Over time, they could fall so far developed for cataract surgery and require the replacement of the clouded lens of the eye with an artificial intraocular lens.

If you have an early cataract, you may have a refractive lens, andXchange, instead of waiting to get enough for cataract surgery for cataracts, needs to progress. Artificial (intraocular lenses), the glass can probably corrected a much better perspective as to require especially now, optical correction with glasses or contact lenses.


The correction of AcrySof ReSTOR Alcon, Advanced Medical Optics ReZoom intraocular lenses and Crystal three eyeonics presbyopia by the Food and Drug Administration of the United States approved.



But keep in mind that you often for Medicare or insurance coverage for cataract surgery is necessary, do not qualify an electoral procedure for the correction of vision that RLE. The cost of the Refractive Lens Exchange may vary from about $ 2,500 to $ 4,500 per eye, or more, depending on the type of artificial lens.

One of the main attractions of the RLE in the new host or multi-focal intraocular lenses that are traditionally used in cataract surgery, represented by its ability to distance vision and near vision improved again so that functions such as the use of computer and REAThing for aging eyes. Presbyopia affects everyone, from 40 years ago, when the natural lens of the eye hardens more and lose the ability to focus at all distances (accommodation) to.

Refractive Lens Exchange in younger
For extreme hyperopia (farsightedness), plus 6.00 diopters, LASIK is not recommended, as is the Refractive Lens Exchange an option. If you use an intraocular lens that can remotely be corrected, but would need reading glasses. If the host or multifocal intraocular lens is used, reading glasses may be rarely needed.

Even if refractive lens exchange is relatively safe, remember that each operation should accompany a risk that is discussed in detail with the eye surgeon. For example, the FDA said that were the chances of a detachment of the retina slightly higher among persons who have undergone refractive lens exchange, compared to the general population. Otherwise, be associated with similar risks, what the people in the cataract surgery. The procedureThe Refractive Lens Exchange is identical to cataract surgery
