Refractive Lensectomy

Refractive Lensectomy is a procedure that is performed by removing the natural lens of your eye and replacing it with an artificial lens. This is a very effective treatment for high ranges of nearsightedness and farsightedness. The same advanced technology is used for cataract surgery. Measurements are done pre-operatively to help predict what power of lens implant is needed. The implants are made to last a lifetime.

Because the lens implants are not flexible and set for a particular focal length, the patient will most likely require reading glasses following the procedure.
