Refractive lens exchange is generally recommended for people over 45 years old and this is because at this age people will have already started to develop presbyopia. Presbyopia describes the natural ageing process of the lens within your eye which results in reduced ability to focus things close to you e.g. reading. Consequently, when the natural lens in your eye is removed during refractive lens exchange you will no longer have the ability to focus on things close to you. If you already need spectacles for near vision as a result of your age, then this is much less likely to have an impact on you.
Refractive lens exchange can be carried out on people below the age of 45 but it is important to understand that having surgery at this age will mean that your near vision will be worse following surgery. However, this may be a small price to pay for those people with very high prescriptions if it means they no longer have to wear their incredibly thick glasses for walking around in. Over the past few years however refractive lens exchange has advanced considerably allowing both your reading vision and distance vision to be corrected.

Unlike with laser eye treatment, bilateral treatment is not possible in cataract or lens replacement surgery. If you do need both eyes treated, we recommend that you get your eyes treated one at a time, usually within a day or two apart. This is mainly done to avoid infection and for safety reasons.
You will not need to stay overnight for this procedure, however you will be required to attend an aftercare appointment the day after your treatment, so please bear this in mind when you are choosing a clinic to undergo treatment with.
Lens replacement surgery is performed using local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any pain during the course of the procedure. After your treatment, it is normal to experience some itching and mild discomfort for the first day or two, but this does pass.
Due to advancements in eye surgery technology and the non-invasive procedure that is used for lens replacement surgery, refractive lens exchange has an extremely high success rate, and the whole process is completed in between 15 - 30 minutes per eye.
