Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) is a refractive surgery procedure in which the crystalline lens of the eyes is removed and replaced with an artificial lens implant to correct refractive error. RLE surgery is essentially the same as cataract surgery. However, in RLE, the procedure is performed primarily to change the refractive properties of the eye rather than remove a cataract that has developed in the lens of the eye.
LASIK surgery accomplishes good vision by changing the shape of the cornea. However, RLE corrects vision by removing the natural lens in the eye and replacing it with a new artificial lens of a different focusing power that can provide good distance vision, good reading vision or both.
