High myopia and\/or astigmatism and you were not a candidate for LASER surgery, well RLE may be the solution. As technology advances, surgery becomes safer, faster and more precise; exchanging your crystalline lens for an intraocular lens (IOL) may have a very satisfyng outcome. This is a common surgery performed in young patients within 25-40 years old that have very high myopia or astigmatism unable to reduce them by laser surgery. Monofocal or Toric lenses are usually implanted in this cases.<\/p>\n

Presbyopia patients (40-60 years old) that are looking for maximum independece in near vision glasses are a very common reason for an appointment with the ophthalmologist. Multifocal or Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lenses are often implanted in these kind of cases.<\/p>\n

RLE utilizes a similar surgical technique as cataract surgery to improve vision without glasses.<\/p>\n\n\t
