Refractive lens exchange, also called clear lens extraction, replaces the natural lens with a multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) in patients wishing to correct high farsightedness, high nearsightedness, or presbyopia without undergoing a corneal modification procedure such as LASIK. Patients can choose from a wide range of IOLs in order to achieve the best possible vision for their individual eyes.
The refractive lens exchange procedure is the same that is used in cataract surgery. The only difference is that refractive lens exchange is performed to achieve refractive correction rather than cataract removal. Refractive lens exchange involves a rapid recovery and offers patients dramatic improvement in vision quality.

Glaucoma laser surgery is performed to lower intraocular pressure by increasing the drainage of aqueous fluid or reducing the amount produced. The type of laser surgery used depends on the type of glaucoma that the patient has. The length of time that the pressure remains lowered depends upon factors including the type of glaucoma, the type of laser surgery, and the patient’s symptoms.
