What is Laser Lens Replacement?

Laser Lens Replacement (LLR), also known as Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), is a vision correction procedure designed to replace your eye’s natural lens with an advanced artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This innovative approach corrects common refractive errors like short sightedness, far sightedness, and presbyopia. Unlike other vision correction options, RLE provides a long-term solution that also prevents the future development of cataracts.

LLR is ideal for those over 55 who want freedom from glasses or contacts, particularly if they have presbyopia (age-related loss of near vision) or are not candidates for LASIK.

Who is suitable for LLR?

Laser Lens Replacement is a suitable option for individuals who:

Are over 55 and experiencing presbyopia.
Have difficulty focusing on objects up close or at various distances.
Want to reduce or eliminate dependency on glasses or contact lenses.
Are not eligible for laser eye surgeries like LASIK due to thin corneas or other conditions.

If these apply to you, Laser Lens Replacement may be the ideal solution to achieve the clarity you’re seeking.

FAQs

How long does Laser Lens Replacement take?

Laser Lens Replacement is a straightforward, outpatient procedure that takes about 20–30 minutes per eye. After the application of anaesthetic eye drops, the surgeon uses advanced laser technology to remove your natural lens and insert the new, artificial lens.

How long does it take to recover?

You’ll likely notice clearer vision within a few hours to days after the procedure.

Full healing usually takes 1–2 weeks. During this time, you’ll need to follow aftercare instructions provided by our team.

Does it hurt?

Laser Lens Replacement is designed to be a minimally invasive, low-pain procedure. Most patients recover quickly and enjoy improved vision with minimal discomfort.

When can I exercise?

After 2 weeks, you can typically return to moderate-intensity exercise. Please seek the advice of your surgeon for high-impact or contact sports.
