What is RLE?

Implantable contact lenses are microscopically thin, soft lenses that are implanted in the eye to permanently correct severely nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

The age of 50 is a special age for vision loss. Our natural lens starts to become less pliable and we lose our ability to accommodate and see up close, this condition is called Presbyopia. This is why we need to either take off our glasses to see up close (if you’re nearsighted) or get reading glasses through bifocals or progressive lenses (if you are farsighted).

If you are affected by distance vision and reading, you are in luck. There’s a relatively easy solution to decrease your dependence on glasses and contacts to see clearly. This safe and painless same-day procedure is called RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange).
