Refractive Lens Exchange

Experience sharp vision at any distance with refractive lens exchange surgery in Kansas City

Imagine a life free from the frustration of readers, bifocals, and blurry vision. With refractive lens exchange (RLE), this can be a reality. For individuals over 40, RLE effectively addresses the natural vision changes that come with aging, as well as common vision conditions, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

For Treating:

Nearsightedness, Farsightedness, Astigmatism, and Presbyopia

“After refractive lens exchange, my vision is incredibly sharp. Think of an HDTV versus an older model.”

Is Refractive Lens Exchange Right For You?

Refractive lens exchange (RLE) is an ideal solution for those experiencing a decline in near vision, also known as presbyopia. This change occurs in addition to any vision conditions already present, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Symptoms of presbyopia include:

  • Difficulty reading or seeing in dim light.
  • An inability to focus on near objects.
  • Difficulty driving, especially at night.

About Your RLE Procedure

During RLE, the natural, dysfunctional lens is removed and replaced with an advanced intraocular lens customized to your vision and lifestyle. This four-in-one procedure helps with distance and near vision, stabilizes the lens optics, and eliminates future cataract surgery.

Everyone over a certain age wants to know what they can do to stop time. Consider refractive lens exchange the ultimate anti-aging solution for your eyes.

“I was impressed with the amount of detailed testing they did at my initial consultation. I had a great experience the day of my LASIK procedure with all of the staff. The results are amazing for such a quick procedure!”

Melissa S

“After 25+ years of glasses and contacts, all it took was about 10 minutes of surgery to correct my vision. Everyone was friendly and easy to work with throughout the process. To anyone considering getting their vision corrected, I give my highest recommendation to Durrie Vision.”

Brad

“Walked into the office unable to see the Snellen chart, walked out after SBK seeing 20/30, which improved to 20/15 at my next day follow-up. The entire process was seamless and professional, and the results are absolutely unbelievable. Had no idea my vision could ever be this clear.”

Kristin

“Quick, easy, friendly! Dr. Stahl did my SBK and I was seeing 20/15 the next morning! Amazing!”

Madalyn

“I had LASIK done last week and I am very pleased. I had never worn contacts and was not comfortable touching my eyes so I was nervous, but they provide Valium to ease nerves  It was easier than I expected. They say you’re in surgery for eight minutes but it didn’t even feel that long.”

Michael

“From the time that I walked into the building for my consultation until I walked out from my post-operation check-up, I was extremely impressed with the level of care. The attention to detail, the technology used to treat my astigmatism and the affordable cost, all were things that stood out.”
