Discover everything you need to know about refractive lens exchange
Lens exchange: replacing your lens with an artificial lens Refractive lens exchange (RLA) is mainly used for patients with cataracts who also have severe short-sightedness or long-sightedness or presbyopia and astigmatism.
Through a small incision in the cornea, the natural lens (already cloudy in cataracts) is removed and a lens made of highly biocompatible plastic (acrylate) is inserted instead.
We will determine which method of lens surgery is most suitable for you in a personal consultation including
ophthalmologic examination by a specialist.
Risks & side effects The chances of success with a clear lens extraction are generally considered to be very high and reliable.
Nevertheless, there are general surgical risks, which all patients are informed about in a personal consultation.
After the age of 40, most of us need reading glasses (even if we have never needed glasses before)! Independence from reading glasses is achievable, but not all eyes can be treated. Make an appointment to find out if you are suitable for presbyopia correction:

Preparation
In preparation for the operation, the pupil is dilated with medication.
This takes about 30 minutes.
The eye is then sufficiently anaesthetized with eye drops (drip anaesthesia) and disinfected.
During the operation, the patient lies flat on the operating table and the eye is covered with an air-permeable sterile drape.
A small clamp is used to prevent the patient from blinking during the operation.
Removing the lens
In a first step, a small (2.2 – 2.4 mm) incision is made at the edge of the cornea.
The lens capsule is then opened in a circle.
The cloudy lens is liquefied and aspirated using modified ultrasound (phacoemulsification).
Insertion of an artificial lens
In place of the old lens, the new artificial lens is placed in the remaining capsular bag using an injector.
All substances used during the operation are then suctioned out and the wounds are closed.
Postoperative phase
After the procedure, the eye is protected from environmental influences such as dirt and dust with a protective shell so that the incision can heal properly.
Eye drops are used to prevent inflammation.
