It is a popular treatment used to improve vision while minimising the need for visual aids such as reading glasses and contact lenses. <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-13366 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/eyecliniclondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RLE-1.jpg\" alt=\"Diagram of RLE\" width=\"244\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eyecliniclondon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RLE-1-200x180.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.eyecliniclondon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RLE-1.jpg 231w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 244px) 100vw, 244px\" \/>This surgical procedure removes the natural lens of your eye and replaces it with an\u00a0artificial intraocular lens(IOL). The procedure is similar to cataract surgery, except healthy lenses are replaced instead of opaque\/cloudy ones to improve refractive error and focus.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rcophth.ac.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Royal College of Ophthalmologists<\/a> suggests refractive lens exchange is available to anyone with a vision prescription. It can particularly be beneficial to people over the age of 50 if they:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Have such a high prescription that LASIK or PRK may not be suitable for them, or<\/li>\n<li>Are experiencing the preliminary stages of cataract development<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>According to The Royal College of Ophthalmologists, refractive lens exchanges prevent cataracts later in life, since synthetic implants do not develop cataracts.<\/p>\n<p>If you are suffering from a condition like\u00a0cataracts, <a href=\"https:\/\/eyecliniclondon.com\/about-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our team<\/a> of highly skilled surgeons can help you find the best course of treatment to suit your needs.<\/p>\n<p>At Eye Clinic London we offer three main types of IOLs to replace the natural lens:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Monofocal IOLs<\/strong> &#8211; these types of lenses offer a fixed focus and provide a clear vision at either distance, intermediate or near ranges but never at all three. Toric IOLs are also a type of Monofocal IOLs but are specifically used to correct astigmatism.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multifocal IOLs<\/strong> &#8211; these types of lenses offer a clear vision at multiple distance ranges.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Accommodating IOLs<\/strong> &#8211; are a type of monofocal lens that adapts to multiple distances by shifting its position in the eye.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The eye surgeons at Eye clinic London have all the knowledge and experience to assist you in choosing lenses that are the most suitable for your individual needs, as there is \u201cno size fits it all\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-79a6a7a0b66f2c2ad fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_79a6a7a0b66f2c2ad\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"79a6a7a0b66f2c2ad\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-774-1\" data-target=\"#79a6a7a0b66f2c2ad\" href=\"#79a6a7a0b66f2c2ad\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">What happens during refractive lens exchange?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"79a6a7a0b66f2c2ad\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_79a6a7a0b66f2c2ad\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>Refractive lens exchange is very similar to routine cataract surgery. Once we extract the existing lens, we replace it with a specific intraocular lens that gives you the clear vision you were always intended to have.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Before your surgery, you will have an initial consultation with your surgeon where you will undergo all the necessary diagnostics and discuss the procedure in more detail, as well as any possible risks or complications and vision expectations after surgery.<\/li>\n<li>The procedure will last from 20 to 40 mins and you will be discharged home after a short period of time on the same day.<\/li>\n<li>On the day of your surgery, numbing anaesthetic eye drops will be administered to your eyes to ensure that you do not feel anything during the procedure.<\/li>\n<li>To begin, a small incision will be made on the surface of your eye before a tiny probe is inserted to allow our surgeons to safely remove your natural lens.<\/li>\n<li>Your new synthetic lens will then be put in place. Your new lens will morph to adopt a comfortable position in your eye.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It is important to note that you may feel slight discomfort once your eye drops have worn off. This is nothing to worry about, and your surgeon will offer you some aftercare advice on how to deal with this.<\/p>\n<p>At Eye Clinic London, we pride ourselves on giving our patients the attentive aftercare that they deserve to help guide them through the process from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13369 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/eyecliniclondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/implant-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"790\" height=\"232\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eyecliniclondon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/implant-1-200x59.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.eyecliniclondon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/implant-1-300x88.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eyecliniclondon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/implant-1-400x117.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.eyecliniclondon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/implant-1-600x176.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.eyecliniclondon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/implant-1-768x226.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eyecliniclondon.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/implant-1.jpg 790w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 790px) 100vw, 790px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-panel panel-default panel-2771d44b8fd4d0593 fusion-toggle-no-divider fusion-toggle-boxed-mode\"><div class=\"panel-heading\"><h4 class=\"panel-title toggle\" id=\"toggle_2771d44b8fd4d0593\"><a aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"2771d44b8fd4d0593\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-parent=\"#accordion-774-1\" data-target=\"#2771d44b8fd4d0593\" href=\"#2771d44b8fd4d0593\"><span class=\"fusion-toggle-icon-wrapper\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><i class=\"fa-fusion-box active-icon awb-icon-minus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><i class=\"fa-fusion-box inactive-icon awb-icon-plus\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i><\/span><span class=\"fusion-toggle-heading\">Refractive lens exchange recovery time<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"2771d44b8fd4d0593\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \" aria-labelledby=\"toggle_2771d44b8fd4d0593\"><div class=\"panel-body toggle-content fusion-clearfix\">\n<p>RLE is a quick procedure, and this also reflects the recovery time too. Recovery time will vary between patients but will typically take anywhere between three to four days. You will be safe to return to work a few days after the treatment.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, as your eyes heal, patients may notice vision disturbances such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allaboutvision.com\/en-gb\/conditions\/blurry-vision\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">blurry vision<\/a>, halos and glare, or a &#8220;scratchy&#8221; feeling in the eyes. These can last for up to several weeks for the final results of the refractive lens exchange to be noticed. However, you should be able to return to work and resume driving within a week of surgery, depending on your eye surgeon&#8217;s instructions.<\/p>\n<p>The artificial intraocular lenses are designed to replace your natural lenses and last for the rest of your life. In addition, there is a minimal risk of regression, vision deterioration in the future over time.<\/p>\n<p>We aid our client&#8217;s recovery by supplying attentive aftercare, and our surgeons can help you feel at ease if you are experiencing any discomfort after your treatment.

So I want to say a big thank you to eye doctor Mr Samer Hamada who finally sorted me out! Apart from the eye tests I expected, he also took a really personal approach. I appreciate that he asked questions about my whole diet and lifestyle which helped him to quickly figure out why my eye surface was inflamed. I now have simple steps I can take to reduce the inflammation through diet and lifestyle changes which I\u2019ve now been doing for 2 weeks. I also have been using the special non-preservative eye drops and gels that Mr Hamada provided. My eyes are already feeling so much better and I\u2019m so relieved to have had help to sort this out. If you\u2019ve been noticing your eyes getting dry \u2013 don\u2019t wait to sort it out as it keeps getting continually worse and you can find relief very quickly with the right help.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/blockquote><div class=\"author\"><span class=\"company-name\"><strong>Laura Livesey<\/strong>, <span>Dry eye<\/span><\/span><\/div><\/div><div class=\"review avatar-above avatar-image\"><div class=\"testimonial-thumbnail\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"testimonial-image\" src=\"https:\/\/eyecliniclondon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/testimonials-timothy-thompson-Eye-clinic-london-Samer-Hamada.png\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" \/><\/div><blockquote class=\"has-transparent-color\"><div class=\"awb-quote\"><div class=\"awb-quote-content\">\n<p>\u201cMr Hamada\u2019s London Eye Care and his team are a delight.
