What is clear lens surgery?

Clear lens surgery is a type of eye surgery. It helps people see clearly without glasses or contact lenses.

During the surgery, the eye’s natural lens is replaced with an artificial lens. This new lens stays in the eye for life. Clear lens surgery is also called refractive lens exchange.

At Vision Laser in Switzerland, this treatment is used to correct vision safely and accurately.

Why do people choose clear lens surgery?

People choose clear lens surgery for many reasons.

It may be right if you:

• have strong short sight or long sight
• have presbyopia (trouble seeing up close)
• are not suitable for laser eye surgery
• want long-term vision correction

Clear lens surgery can reduce or remove the need for glasses.

How does the eye normally work?

The eye has a clear lens inside. This lens helps focus light so you can see.

As we age, the lens becomes less flexible. This makes it harder to see up close.

Clear lens surgery replaces this natural lens with a clear artificial one.

What happens during clear lens surgery?

The procedure is quick and gentle.

Most people:

• the eye is numbed with drops
• a small opening is made
• the natural lens is removed
• a new artificial lens is placed

The surgery usually takes 15 to 20 minutes per eye.

Does clear lens surgery hurt?

No.
No. The surgery is not painful.

You may feel light pressure or touch. Most people are surprised at how easy it feels. After surgery, the eye may feel slightly gritty or watery for a short time.

What types of lenses are used?

There are different types of artificial lenses.

Your doctor will help choose the best one for you.

Lens options may include:

• monofocal lenses
• multifocal lenses
• extended depth lenses

Each lens is designed to meet different vision needs.

How long does recovery take?

Recovery is usually fast.

• see better within a few days
