Can’t leave the house without your readers? Ask us about Clear Lens Exchange
If you find yourself constantly reaching for your readers, keep multiple pairs around the house and can’t leave home without them, you’re not alone. Many adults experience the frustration of needing glasses for menus, text messages, computer screens, medication labels and other everyday tasks. For people over 40, this is a natural aging process that makes it harder for the eye to focus on nearby objects. While reading glasses and bifocals can help, some patients want longer-lasting vision correction. One option to discuss with your eye doctor is Clear Lens Exchange (CLE).
What is Clear Lens Exchange?
Clear Lens Exchange is a vision correction procedure that’s similar to cataract surgery. During the procedure, the eye’s natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to help improve vision. Unlike cataract surgery, CLE can be performed before cataracts develop and may be an option for patients who want to reduce their dependence on glasses. The goal is to provide clearer vision based on your individual needs, lifestyle and visual goals.
Why Consider Clear Lens Exchange?
Many patients explore CLE because they are tired of relying on reading glasses or contacts for everyday activities. If any of these frustrations feel familiar, CLE may provide a more convenient vision experience.
One of the advantages of Clear Lens Exchange is that the replacement lens can be selected based on your vision needs. Your eye doctor can discuss different intraocular lens options, including lenses designed to improve distance, intermediate and near vision, as well as astigmatism.
Is Clear Lens Exchange Right for You?
Not everyone is a candidate for CLE. An eye exam can evaluate your overall eye health, corneal condition, the required prescription strength and then compare those to your expectations and goals for CLE.
