What is Refractive Lensectomy?
Refractive Lensectomy, also known as clear lens extraction, is a surgical procedure that corrects refractive errors in the eye by replacing the natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). This advanced technique is often recommended for individuals with presbyopia, hyperopia, and other vision problems that cannot be effectively corrected with glasses or contact lenses.

The Refractive Lensectomy Procedure
During a refractive lensectomy procedure, our skilled ophthalmologist will make a small incision in the cornea and gently remove the natural lens from the eye. An artificial intraocular lens (IOL) will then be implanted to replace the natural lens. The IOL is selected based on your specific visual needs and may correct various refractive errors, including presbyopia, hyperopia, myopia, and astigmatism.
The entire procedure is typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can return home on the same day. Commonly, local anesthesia is used to numb the eye, ensuring that you are comfortable throughout the process.
Recovery and Results
Following refractive lensectomy, it is normal to experience some mild discomfort and blurry vision. Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to facilitate a smooth recovery.
In most cases, patients notice a significant improvement in their vision within a few days to a week after surgery. It is essential to attend follow-up appointments as scheduled to monitor the healing process and ensure optimal visual outcomes.
Benefits of Refractive Lensectomy
Refractive Lensectomy offers numerous benefits for individuals seeking to improve their vision and reduce dependency on glasses or contact lenses. Some of the key advantages include:
- Improved Visual Acuity: Refractive lensectomy effectively corrects refractive errors, providing improved visual acuity and clarity.
- Reduced Dependence on Visual Aids: Many patients experience a significant reduction in their reliance on glasses or contact lenses after the procedure.
- Carefree Lifestyle: With refractive lensectomy, you can enjoy activities such as swimming, sports, and reading without the hassle of prescription eyewear.
- Long-Term Solution: Once the artificial intraocular lens is implanted, it rarely needs to be replaced. Refractive lensectomy offers a lasting solution for your vision needs.
