RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) for High Refractive Errors at Kataria Eye and ENT Hospital, Jalandhar
At Kataria Eye and ENT Hospital, we offer Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) as a safe and effective solution for patients with high refractive errors who may not be suitable candidates for LASIK or other laser eye surgeries. Our expert ophthalmologist, Dr. Sharina Nanda, specializes in providing personalized RLE treatments to help you achieve long-lasting vision correction.
What is RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange)?
RLE is a procedure that replaces the eye's natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct high refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and presbyopia (age-related farsightedness). It is especially suitable for patients with severe vision issues or those who are not candidates for laser-based vision correction procedures like LASIK due to thin corneas or other contraindications.
Key Benefits of RLE:
- Permanent Vision Correction: RLE provides a long-term solution to high refractive errors, reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
- Customizable Lenses: With a wide variety of intraocular lenses (IOLs) available, including multifocal and toric lenses, the procedure can be tailored to your specific vision needs.
- Prevention of Cataracts: Since the natural lens is replaced, RLE eliminates the risk of developing cataracts in the future.
- Safe and Proven: RLE is a well-established procedure with a high success rate and minimal recovery time.
