Refractive lens exchange is an elective surgery where the natural lens
of your eye is removed and replaced with an intraocular lens (IOL).
This artificial lens functions like the natural lens, however it can
correct any refractive errors typically corrected by glasses or contact
lenses.
Artificial lenses are measured and ordered based on the individual’s
vision prescription, needs and expectations. The procedure is meant
to improve vision amongst people who may have nearsightedness,
farsightedness, age-related visual changes, and/or astigmatism.
