Lens Replacement Surgery
Because clear vision is life-changing!
WHAT IS LENS SURGERY?
Lens Surgery, also known as refractive lens exchange (RLE) or clear lens extraction (CLE), refers to a medical procedure that involves the removal of a cloudy or damaged natural lens of the eye and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL)and also corrects refractive errors.
Lens surgery is a safe, effective solution for a variety of vision problems such as astigmatism, myopia, hyperopia, presbyopia, and cataracts, improving quality of life by restoring clear vision.
Eagle Eye care, with a team of highly experienced ophthalmologists specialised in lens surgery, uses cutting-edge surgical tools and techniques, with treatment plans tailored to your specific vision needs and lifestyle goals.

TYPES OF LENS SURGERY
1. Cataract Surgery:
-
most common form of lens surgery
-
restores clear vision, often reducing the need for glasses.
-
cloudy lens caused by cataracts is removed and replaced with a clear artificial lens
2. Lens Surgery (Refractive Lens Exchange):
-
procedure similar to cataract surgery
-
performed on individuals with refractive errors like presbyopia, nearsightedness, or farsightedness
-
natural lens is replaced with a premium IOL to improve vision at various distances.
RLE CHOSEN OVER LASER SURGERY?
Presbyopia Correction: While laser eye surgery can correct distance vision, it does not typically address presbyopia as effectively. RLE, on the other hand allows for a high degree of customisation based on the patient’s lifestyle and vision goals
Cataract Prevention: By replacing the natural lens with an IOL, the risk of developing cataracts later in life is eliminated
High Refractive Errors: RLE is recommended for patients with very high levels of refractive errors outside the purview of laser surgery.
Corneal Thickness and Health: RLE is recommended for patients with thin and irregular cornea, as they may not be ideal candidate for laser surgery
Permanent Solution: RLE provides a permanent solution as the natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens.
Stable Vision: After RLE, the patient’s vision typically stabilizes quickly and remains stable over the long term
Independence from Glasses: For patients who want clear vision at multiple distances, RLE can offer independence from glasses compared to laser
LENS SURGERY ELIGIBILITY
Lens surgery is a highly effective procedure for improving vision, but not everyone is an ideal candidate.
Key factor determining eligibility are
-
Vision Problems or Conditions like Cataracts, Refractive Errors or Severe dependency on Glasses
-
General Eye Health with Healthy Retina and Cornea and No Active Eye Infections or Diseases
-
Age Considerations (typically adults 40+): Often recommended for individuals with presbyopia or cataracts.
-
Stable Vision Prescription for at least 6–12 months before surgery to ensure predictable outcomes
-
Overall good health with conditions like diabetes or autoimmune diseases as well-controlled. Also not pregnant or nursing, as hormonal changes can temporarily affect vision.
-
Personal goals and expectations about the outcomes of lens surgery, including potential benefits and limitations.
-
Suitability for Premium Options
Lens Surgery also known as Refractive lens exchange (RLE) or clear lens extraction (CLE) is a common procedure that replaces the natural lens inside the eye with a high-definition vision-correcting premium synthetic implant known as an intraocular lens. It is a type of surgery that treats individuals with reading vision difficulties as well as any distance vision disorders such as near or farsightedness and astigmatism that may be present.
Lens surgery is a life-long process as the artificial lens is permanent.
It is usually performed as an outpatient procedure under local anaesthesia and lasts 15-30 minutes. Recovery is quick, with most individuals experiencing improved vision within a few days.
Lens surgery has a high success rate and can greatly enhance quality of life.
Lens Surgery Treatment
Pre-Operative Consultation
Consultation and Assessment
Before the surgery, a thorough eye examination will be conducted to assess your overall eye health and determine the type of IOL best suited for your needs (monofocal, multifocal, or toric lenses). Measurements will be taken to ensure the replacement lens fits your eye perfectly.
The Surgeon will recommend an intraocular implant based on your overall eye health, lifestyle and the measurements gathered at the pre-operative examination
Medication and Instructions
You may be prescribed eye drops to use before the surgery to prevent infection and reduce inflammation. Avoid wearing contact lenses for a few days (as advised by your doctor). Refrain from using makeup, creams, or lotions around your eyes on the day of surgery.
Transportation and Support
Arrange for someone to drive you home, as your vision may be temporarily affected after surgery.

Monofocal Lens Exchange
A highly effective and common surgical procedure to restore clear vision by replacing the eye’s natural lens with a monofocal intraocular lens (IOL), which corrects vision for a single focal point.
Multifocal Lens Exchange
A highly effective solution for improving vision at multiple distances with premium IOL such as multifocal, trifocal, toric lenses to address refractive errors and achieving greater independence from glasses.
Advanced Lens Exchange
Ideal option for individuals by replacing the lens with an advanced IOL (Toric, Extended Depth of Focus, Accommodating Lenses) designed to correct multiple vision problems and refractive errors
1. Anaesthetic Eye Drops
Numbing eye drops are administered to ensure that the patient does not experience pain during the treatment
2. Capsulotomy
Capsulotomy involves creating a circular incision in the capsule surrounding the natural lens (capsulorhexis) for accessing and removing the natural lens.
3. Phacoemulsification
High-frequency sound waves emitted by a handheld ultrasound device break up the lens into an emulsified gelatinous mass
4. Lens Removal
The fragments of the natural lens are carefully suctioned out of the eye, leaving the empty lens capsule intact
5. IOL Implantation
The chosen IOL, which has been folded for insertion, is inserted into the empty lens capsule using the same tiny incision
6. IOL Placement
The IOL gently unfolds into the capsular bag, replacing the natural lens completely in its proper position
