SURGICAL
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)
What is RLE?
As you age, the lens of your eye loses elasticity, affecting the clarity of your vision. You may experience hyperopia (farsightedness) and/or presbyopia, requiring bi-focal glasses. Since presbyopia is caused by the aging of the lens, not the shape of the cornea, this problem cannot be corrected with LASIK.

RLE or Refractive Lens Exchange is a surgical option for people over 40 who want to decrease their dependence on glasses or contacts.


The RLE procedure
Refractive Lens Exchange is a corrective procedure where the natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with an artificial lens, similar to cataract surgery.

RLE results
RLE offers revolutionary technology that can potentially eliminate the need for glasses.

Dr. Wise can provide you with realistic expectations if this procedure is right for you.
