With the advancements made in intraocular lens technology, a fairly new form of refractive surgery has started to gain in popularity. The clear lens exchange is an outpatient procedure where the eye’s natural lens is removed, and a permanent artificial lens is implanted. The advanced intraocular lens implanted is designed to correct for a full range of vision, including reading. Aging of the eye’s natural lens eventually leads to presbyopia (the eye’s natural lens loses the capability to focus on up close objects). Patients must resort to reading glasses and/or bifocals to see clearly up close.
