What is a clear lens?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Have you heard about clear lens surgery<\/strong> <\/a> and wondered what it means? At Vision Laser<\/a> in Geneva, we\u2019re here to make it simple.<\/p>\n

A clear lens, also called a refractive lens, is the natural lens inside your eye. It helps focus light so you can see clearly. When you\u2019re young, this lens is flexible and clear. You can easily focus on things both near and far.<\/p>\n

But as we get older, the lens can lose its flexibility. You might find it harder to read small print or focus up close, this is called presbyopia. Over time, the lens can also become cloudy, which leads to cataracts.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where clear lens surgery comes in.<\/p>\n

What happens in clear lens surgery?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In clear lens surgery (also known as refractive lens exchange, or RLE), your natural lens is gently removed and replaced with an artificial lens. This new lens is called an intraocular lens (IOL). It\u2019s made from a safe, high-quality material designed to stay clear for life.<\/p>\n

The surgery is quick and painless. It usually takes about 15 to 20 minutes per eye. You don\u2019t feel pain because the eye is numbed with special drops. Most people go home the same day and notice better vision within a few days.<\/p>\n

At Vision Laser, our surgeons use advanced technology to plan and guide every step. Your comfort and safety always come first.<\/p>\n
