  1. Nexus Eye Care REFRACTIVE LENS EXCHANGE (RLE) Clearer Vision Beyond LASIK Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) offers a long-term solution for those 40+ seeking sharp, cataract-free vision—especially when LASIK isn’t an option.

  2. FAQ - Most Common Questions Asked 1. Are You the Right Candidate for Cataract/RLE Surgery? Cataract/RLE surgery may help if you have blurry vision or want less dependence on glasses. It’s not suitable for those under 21 or with serious eye conditions like retinal detachment or advanced macular degeneration. 2. What are the side effects of this surgery? After surgery, you may temporarily experience light sensitivity, night vision issues, glare, or halos around lights—these usually improve with time. 3. Difference between RLE and Cataract surgery? RLE and cataract surgery both replace the eye’s natural lens, but RLE is elective to reduce glasses use, while cataract surgery treats vision loss from cataracts. 4.How long does the surgery take? The surgery itself for both Cataracts and RLE takes around 30 minutes. You should plan for a total time commitment of about 2-3 hours, including the pre-operative preparation and post-operative recovery period.

  3. Does it hurt during the surgery? 5. You won't feel any pain or discomfort because the surgery is done under anaesthesia. Mild eye irritation afterward is normal and can be managed with Panadol or ibuprofen. 6. What are the different types of lenses used in the surgery? After surgery, you may temporarily experience light sensitivity, night vision issues, glare, or halos around lights—these usually improve with time. 7. How long does it take to recover completely post the surgery? Most side effects of cataract eye surgery disappear within a day or two, but it may take about 4-6 weeks for your vision to fully recover. 8.Can you get treated for both eyes on the same day? Surgeons usually operate on one eye at a time, though same-day surgery for both eyes is sometimes possible. Your surgeon will advise what’s best for you.
