RLE surgery in Melbourne is a vision correction option for people over 45 who want to reduce their dependence on reading glasses. At Vista Eyes Laser Eye Clinic, we offer RLE (Refractive Lens Exchange) as a treatment for presbyopia and age-related vision changes.
How Does RLE Work?
During refractive lens exchange, your ophthalmologist removes your eye’s natural lens and replaces it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This technique is similar to cataract surgery, but RLE is chosen for people who want vision correction before developing cataracts. The choice of IOL can help improve vision for distance, intermediate, or near tasks. More details about IOLs are available on our Vista Eyes page.
Benefits and Considerations
Many people who choose RLE surgery aim to lower their reliance on glasses or contact lenses for daily life. Your eye surgeon will discuss available options, your eye health, and lifestyle needs to help decide if RLE suits you. It’s important to note that all medical procedures carry risks, and results can vary. Learn more about eye surgery from Healthdirect Australia.
Other Vision Correction Options
If you are considering alternatives to RLE, there are also LASIK, PRK, and ICL surgeries. Your ophthalmologist will help you choose the most suitable procedure based on your eyes and overall health.
