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 treatment 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.
The premium implants enable vision without glasses for both distance and near vision. Individual fitting of the implant, discussion of the procedure and vision according to the individual calculation will be discussed during the qualification examination.
The procedure performed with a femtosecond laser increases the precision of the procedure and its anatomical accuracy. At SwissLaser, we use the ZIEMER Z8 low-energy femtosecond laser.
