Lens Exchange
Similar to cataract surgery, the lens exchange procedure involves removing the natural lens of the eye through a minimally invasive small incision technique and then implanting a suitable multifocal intraocular lens. The procedure corrects high degrees of myopia, hyperopia and especially presbyopia.
The advantages of lens exchange include permanent vision correction without removing corneal tissue, rapid visual recovery, predictable outcomes, and preservation of the natural cornea and its natural shape.
Am I a suitable candidate for Lens Exchange?
In general, suitable candidates
- Are over 35 years old
- Are in good general health
- Have no autoimmune disease issues that may affect the healing of the eyes
- Have no active eye conditions or infection
To find out if lens exchange is suitable for you, you should have a comprehensive eye examination by our ophthalmologist. During the examination, we will give you more specific information and answer any questions you may have. The examination will take about 3 hours.
How to prepare for an examination?

- Wear eyeglasses and stop wearing contact lenses before eye examination:
- Soft lenses for 3 to 7 days
- Hard or gas-permeable lenses for 1 to 2 weeks
