Vision may be improved by removing the human lens and replacing it with a synthetic lens. If a cataract is present, it is called cataract removal and over 1 million of these operations are performed a year in the USA. This option is available for those with large refractive errors, presbyopia (loss of near vision with age) and contraindications to other methods of vision correction. Most choose Crystalens as the replacement lens.
Refractive Lens Exchange not only improves the vision but cataract surgery will not be needed in the future because the lens and potential cataract are removed.

"Since
my Crystalens surgeries performed
by Dr.
Wilmarth, I am most
happy to resume independent
living again, especially
driving to places without getting
lost. And to see without glasses
is wonderful. It is the
best decision I've made for myself
and with no regrets."
