As we get older, the lenses in our eyes thicken and lose flexibility. This phenomenon is known as presbyopia and can be the reason you need reading glasses later in life. Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) can correct this presbyopia by replacing the natural lens in your eye with an artificial intraocular lens. In addition to correcting presbyopia, RLE also eliminates your possibility to develop cataracts later in life and/or removes any mild degree of cataracts that have already started to form.
