Lens replacement therapy, also known as lens replacement surgery or transparent lens exchange, is a surgical procedure that involves removing the eye's natural lens and replacing it with an artificial Intraocular Lens (IOL). Eye surgeons use this procedure to treat vision problems such as cataracts or severe refractive errors.

Lens replacement surgery, also known as refractive lens exchange (RLE) or clear lens extraction (CLE), is a procedure where the natural lens of your eye is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. This is done to correct vision problems like severe farsightedness, nearsightedness, or age-related vision changes. It's similar to cataract surgery but performed even if you don't have cataracts. The goal is to reduce your need for glasses or contacts and improve your overall vision.
