With RLE, You don\u2019t have to wait for your cataracts to worsen, nor do you have to accept that your prescription is too high for corrective surgery.<\/p>\n

RLE involves the surgeon replacing your natural lens with with an intraocular lens (IOL)<\/span> to improve your vision.<\/p>\n

You can even get a specialty lens that reduces or eliminates your need for glasses and contacts for distance and near vision. Ask your surgeon during the initial appointment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
