Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) at Kataria Eye and ENT Hospital, Jalandhar
At Kataria Eye and ENT Hospital, we specialize in Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), a safe and effective procedure for those looking to correct high refractive errors or reduce their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Our expert eye surgeon, Dr. Sharina Nanda, provides personalized RLE treatments tailored to each patient’s unique vision needs.
What is Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)?
Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a surgical procedure that replaces the eye's natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure is ideal for patients with high levels of myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), or presbyopia (age-related farsightedness), especially those who are not candidates for laser-based vision correction like LASIK. By removing the natural lens and replacing it with an artificial one, RLE not only corrects refractive errors but also prevents the development of cataracts in the future.
Benefits of Refractive Lens Exchange:
- Long-Lasting Vision Correction: RLE offers a permanent solution to refractive errors, significantly reducing or eliminating the need for glasses or contact lenses.
- Customizable Lens Options: We offer a variety of intraocular lens (IOL) options, including multifocal and toric lenses, to address both refractive errors and astigmatism.
- Prevention of Cataracts: Since the natural lens is replaced, RLE eliminates the risk of cataracts, offering long-term eye health benefits.
- Safe and Proven: RLE is a highly successful and established procedure with a quick recovery time.
