Our advanced vision correction procedures, including Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) and Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL), provide long-lasting, effective solutions. These cutting-edge surgical options are designed to address a range of vision concerns, helping you achieve clearer, more independent vision for years to come!
RLE, also known as clear lens extraction, involves replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct refractive errors like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. RLE is a great option for individuals who are not candidates for LASIK, particularly those over 40 or those with presbyopia (age-related near-vision loss).
ICL surgery involves placing a biocompatible lens inside the eye, between the iris and the natural lens, to correct refractive errors. Unlike LASIK, which reshapes the cornea, ICL provides a reversible solution for vision correction, and it’s suitable for individuals with higher prescriptions or thinner corneas.
Both ICL and RLE provide clear, sharp vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. These procedures are especially beneficial for individuals with high prescriptions, those who experience dry eyes, or those who are not ideal candidates for LASIK. With lasting results, both options offer a life-changing solution for better vision and enhanced quality of life.
