Lens replacement to correct presbyopia

RLE (refractive lens exchange) or CLE (clear lens extraction), or refractive lens exchange, involves removing the patient’s own lens and replacing it with a technologically advanced artificial lens to correct the visual impairment. Such a procedure is recommended for patients with severe farsightedness, presbyopia and astigmatism, and in some cases myopia. CLE(clear lens extraction), as the name implies, is a procedure for replacing a non-corrected lens with an artificial one.

If a person with presbyopia, nearsightedness or farsightedness undergoes refractive lens replacement surgery, the eye-threatening cataract will not appear at all. This is because the natural lens is replaced with an artificial one that is not prone to clouding.

Refractive lens replacement surgery can also be performed on patients who have previously undergone laser vision correction.

The chances of success of the lens replacement procedure by the method discussed (i.e. suctioning the natural lens using a modern and very precise phacoemulsifier) are very high, and the procedure itself is reliable. General surgical risks are, of course, possible, which all patients are informed about during a personal interview with the doctor.

During refractive lens replacement surgery, it is possible to use a lens that is individually matched to the needs of a particular patient.

Multifocal lenses (trifocal, multifocal, EDOF) – allow very good visual acuity for distance, near (35-40 cm) and intermediate distance (60-90 cm)

Toricmonofocal lenses – eliminate astigmatism, provide sharp vision for either distance or near vision

Toric multifocal lenses – eliminate astigmatism, provide sharp vision for distance, near and intermediate distances, so they give you the opportunity to be completely independent of corrective glasses.
