Smart Lens Replacement (Refractive Lens Exchange)

Smart Lens Replacement (Refractive Lens Exchange)

Smart Lens Replacement is an advanced ophthalmic procedure replacing the eye's natural lens with a premium intraocular lens to correct vision issues such as presbyopia, myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. This procedure reduces dependence on glasses or contact lenses, improves visual clarity, and can also address early cataracts. At our health tourism platform, Smart Lens Replacement is planned with precision, using state-of-the-art imaging and lens customization to ensure optimal visual outcomes.

  • Experience presbyopia or significant refractive errors

  • Maintain realistic expectations Comprehensive eye examinations and diagnostic imaging evaluate corneal health, retinal status, and ocular measurements.

Pre-Treatment Process

  • Instructions regarding medications, contact lens removal, and pre-surgery precautions

Surgical Procedure

Performed under local anesthesia with topical numbing drops:

  • Small corneal incision is made
  • Natural lens is removed using phacoemulsification
  • Premium intraocular lens is inserted and positioned
