What is Refractive Lens Exchange or Lens Replacement Surgery?

Lens replacement surgery is a revolutionary procedure designed to correct a range of vision issues by replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). While traditionally used for treating presbyopia, RLE has evolved to address a broader spectrum of refractive errors, providing a clear and permanent vision correction solution.
