Refractive Lens Exchange
Refractive Lens Exchange is a procedure that utilizes all of the available technologies we have for cataract and refractive surgery to improve vision and lessen dependence upon glasses and contact lenses in people who do not have cataracts. All of the options discussed above, including traditional monofocal lenses for binocular distance vision, monovision, toric intraocular lenses for correction of astigmatism, limbal relaxing incisions, and multifocal intraocular lenses, can be used to achieve decreased dependence upon glasses and contact lenses.
