Clear Lens Exchange
Get Clear Vision & Avoid Cataracts in the Future
Find Out if CLE is Right for You!What is Clear Lens Exchange (CLE)?
Clear lens exchange is a procedure to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia (the need for reading glasses after age 40). During CLE, your natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial implant to achieve clear vision. We offer many different implant options to help you achieve your vision goals. Find out if CLE is right for you.
Ideal Candidates for CLE:
- Mid 40’s & up
- Suffer from nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism
- Using OTC readers, progressive, bifocal glasses
- Healthy Eyes, not diagnosed with visually significant cataracts
- Realistic expectations
What to Expect During CLE
The CLE procedure is performed at an Ambulatory Surgical Center. The surgery is performed using conscious sedation that will help you relax. The surgeon will then use a laser to make a small incision at the edge of your cornea. The laser will also create a small incision in the capsule around your natural lens while breaking up your lens so the surgeon can then remove it completely. Once your lens is removed, the surgeon will perform additional real time measurements to select the best power for your lens. The surgeon will then insert your new lens and position it inside your eye. Only one eye is treated at a time and the entire procedure takes less than 10 minutes. You may start seeing better in a few days, but full vision results are achieved once both eyes have been treated.
