Clear Lens Extraction / Refractive Lens Exchange
Clear Lens Extraction is similar to cataract surgery as both involve the replacement of the eye’s natural lens with an artificial lens. In both procedures, the eye’s natural lens is removed. For some patients, CLE or RLE surgical solution is a better choice than laser vision correction to restore vision.

August Is National Eye Exam Month
August is National Eye Exam Month dedicated to bring attention to the importance of routine eye exams to safeguard eye health. If you are under 40, have no risk factors, or eye injuries and do not wear corrective lenses, an eye exam every one to three years, may be sufficient. The current guidelines from the American Academy of Ophthalmology is a “comprehensive baseline exam at age 40” to detect proper function, health and early detection of conditions or disease. Age 40 is often the time when changes of vision occur and early signs of disease may be present. Ophthalmologists have the opportunity through early diagnosis to treat and preserve your vision before further complications arise. Some common problems, conditions and serious eye diseases often go unnoticed by the individual.
Toric Lens Implants
This procedure is a kind of Lens Implant that can cure astigmatism. If you are a patient who suffers from both cataract and astigmatism, then this implant is ideal for you. This reduces your need for eyeglasses following the surgery. Before, patients had no option to correct their astigmatism after cataract surgery, but now with the innovation of the optics of intraocular lens, the correction for astigmatism is possible.
Astigmatism is an eye problem due to the cornea shaped like an oval rather than round. This particular eye problem may happen in different levels in every eye and can be accompanied by certain conditions of nearsightedness or farsightedness. For patients afflicted with astigmatism, images seen may look blurred. Usually, it can also be accompanied with any type of refractive problem.
For those patients suffering from astigmatism, and do not want to wear eyeglasses anymore to see perfectly afar, selecting a Toric Lens Implant is a great option. This particular implant can aid patients to see clearly without the use of glasses for important activities that need clear visual at a distance. Toric intraocular lens technology utilizes biocompatible materials that are known to be safe for the eye because it has already been used in contact lenses.
The Toric Lens is a bendable, one piece lens that is positioned in place of the murky lens during the cataract surgery. Its design makes it probable to minimize or eradicate corneal astigmatism and notable enhancement of distance vision. According to the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) of the United States, the Toric Lens Implants minimize the exact residual astigmatism. About 61% of people who have been implanted with the Toric lens in one eye accomplished good vision at a far distance in the absence of glasses. Around 97% became independent to eyeglasses.
