Refractive Lensectomy
As we age, the lens inside our eye loses its ability to focus both near and far. Most vision correction procedures attempt to change the focusing power of the cornea. Refractive Lensectomy, on the other hand, corrects nearsightedness or farsightedness by replacing the eye's natural lens, which has the wrong power, with an artificial intra-ocular lens (IOL) implant that has the correct power for the eye.
Refractive Lensectomy is a surgical procedure that uses the same successful techniques of modern cataract surgery. These surgical techniques have evolved and improved dramatically over the last 20 years. Cataract surgery is now the most common surgical procedure performed in medicine today.
The main difference between standard cataract surgery and Refractive Lensectomy is that cataract surgery is primarily performed to remove a patient's cataract that is obstructing and clouding their vision, while Refractive Lensectomy is performed to reduce a person's dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Refractive Lensectomy can be combined with other procedures that treat astigmatism such as LRIs and AK. Some modern implants can even give great distance vision while improving the ability to see up close without glasses.
Refractive Lensectomy is for those who:
- Want to reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contacts.
- May not be a good candidate for laser vision correction.
- Are 18+ years of age.
- Have no health issues affecting their eyes.

Visit Our Cataract Center
Cataract patients now have the option to have their vision corrected to allow them to see at both near and far distances after cataract surgery! These lens implants provide significantly reduced dependence on glasses for all tasks of daily living, providing a range of focus that laser vision correction cannot achieve. Individuals with visual impairment suffering from cataracts previously had only a mono-focal lens implant option after surgery.
