Griffin Eye Center offers several different vision correction surgeries to people who previously thought they had no options. Thanks to advancements in technology, those who were previously thought to be too old or too farsighted for LASIK now have an option for vision correction surgery.
Refractive Lens Exchange RLE is for patients between the ages of 50 plus who are experiencing the effects of presbyopia. Presbyopia is a normal part of aging that becomes more apparent as people approach their 40s and 50s. As the human body ages, it loses its elasticity, and therefore its ability to easily change focus, making it more difficult to read smaller prints. Because LASIK and other forms of laser vision correction do not affect the lens of your eye, they cannot correct this problem.
The RLE procedure involves removing your eye’s natural lens and replacing it with an artificial Intraocular Lens (IOL) that is designed to match your specific vision needs. After a comprehensive eye evaluation, we will discuss options using the latest, most advanced type of IOL that will best help you reach your individual vision goals.
RLE could be Ideal for those with:
- Nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism
- Presbyopia
- No cataract development
