REFRACTIVE LENS EXCHANGE (RLE)

Refractive lens exchange (RLE) is a type of ocular surgery that replaces the eye’s natural lens with a clear implantable lens. The goal of a RLE is to markedly reduce the need for single vision glasses, bifocals, progressive lenses, trifocals, contact lenses, and reading glasses. Surgically, a RLE is the same procedure as cataract surgery but performed prior to cataract development.
