RLE 


Eye Care Procedures Menu

Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)

This procedure is known by several different names. Some in common use are Presbyopic Lens Exchange (Prelex) and Clear Lens Exchange (CLE). In short, it is exactly the same procedure as a cataract removal except it is done for the sole purpose of decreasing dependence on glasses or contact lenses, and, therefore, is not covered by traditional insurance plans. The natural lens is removed (it is becoming less flexible and harder with age) and it is usually replaced with a lens implant that allows both near and far vision in the same eye. The two implants Dr Tschoepe uses for this purpose are the ReStor and ReZoom. This procedure eliminates the need for cataract surgery in the future.


RLE is considered an "off-label" procedure; which is using a device approved by the FDA for cataract surgery in a procedure other than cataract surgery. See cataract surgery for more details.
