The most suitable vision correction option for patients over 40 is Refractive Lens Exchange. This is a particularly good choice for patients whom have lost the ability to accommodate the need for glasses to read as well as see in the distance.<\/p>\n
Lens implant surgery (also called refractive lens exchange) is a surgical procedure to remove the natural lens of the eye and replace it with personalised lenses, which provide the best and most accurate correction for a patient\u2019s vision. The new lenses are either mono-focal, multi-focal or pseudo-accommodative intra-ocular lens implant (IOL). Replacement lens exchange can deliver multi-focal vision, meaning that following treatment, patients may have clear vision up close, at intermediate distances and at far distance. It may eliminate the need for bifocals or reading glasses.<\/p>\n
The procedure is a more advanced form of cataract surgery as the lens inserted is more technologically superior and the results more accurate. The procedure usually takes less than 10 minutes to do under a local anaesthetic, and is painless. There is usually a rapid recovery of vision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3036,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"template":"","acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
