If you're considering LASIK or any laser eye surgeries but find yourself beyond the age limit of 50, RLE might be an appealing alternative.
This procedure replaces the clear natural lens of your eyes with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct your refractive error. The procedure for RLE is essentially identical to cataract surgery.
However, in the RLE procedure, the lens that is replaced is clear while cataract surgery replaces a cloudy lens. RLE is a daycare procedure.
