What Happens During the Refractive Lens Exchange Procedure?

Using advanced techniques, your natural lens will be removed through a tiny incision and replaced with a prescription lens implant specially selected for your eyes.

Since the incision is so small, no stitches are needed, and recovery is rapid. Many people notice vision improvement right away after the procedure. However, it may take a few weeks for your eyes to adjust and for you to witness the full potential of your vision. You may need to use medicated drops to promote quick healing and ensure your eyes are protected.

It’s important to take these drops for the entire duration and exactly as prescribed. During your recovery, you will need to return to your eye doctor’s office for a few follow-up visits to confirm you’re seeing your absolute best.

When performed by our experienced refractive surgeons, refractive lens exchange is safe and effective. At Mueller Vision, our goal is to deliver the personalized care needed to help you see new possibilities.
