When the lens of the eye becomes clouded by cataracts, it needs to be replaced with an IOL to restore clear vision during cataract surgery. Refractive lens exchange (RLE) is an identical procedure to cataract surgery, but is done for purely elective reasons. In this case the patient does not have cataracts or very early-stage cataracts: the IOL is placed only to correct a refractive error. For this reason, RLE is not covered by insurance. We offer affordable financing solutions for patients seeking to improve their vision with refractive lens exchange.
