If you’re in your 40s or 50s, you may have started to notice that reading a menu, checking your phone, or working at a computer isn’t as easy as it used to be. This change is called presbyopia. It is a natural part of aging in which the eye’s lens loses flexibility and makes it harder to focus up close. Even people who have never worn glasses experience it! Over time, many rely on readers or bifocals to see clearly at all distances, which can interfere with an active lifestyle.

For those who had LASIK years ago, your results have not “worn off”. The changes you are noticing now are the same age-related lens changes that everyone experiences. Refractive Lens Exchange could be the solution you have been looking for to restore clear vision at all distances!

Who Can Benefit from RLE

• People in their 40s and 50s who are noticing difficulty reading up close or focusing on near tasks.
• Those who are tired of juggling multiple pairs of glasses or contacts.
• Anyone looking for a long-term solution for presbyopia and age-related vision changes.
• People who had LASIK in the past and are now finding they need reading glasses.

Why Patients Choose RLE

• Can address both near and distance vision issues.
• Reduces or eliminates dependence on glasses or contacts.
• Provides a long-term solution (no need for cataract surgery in the future!)
• Offers advanced lens options tailored to your lifestyle and vision goals.

Our very own patient, Paula H, shares her RLE experience:

“I had RLE surgery, and everything went great! Before the surgery, I had to wear glasses to read everything. Now, I don’t need glasses at all! I am so pleased and would highly recommend RLE surgery. Dr. Ferguson and staff were wonderful from start to finish.”

Yvette L. also shares her RLE journey with us:

“I will never be able to fully express my thanks to you for giving me this wonderful gift of vision. Today I had my second eye RLE surgery- this past week with only one eye corrected with nothing short of a miracle.  It’s been over thirty years since I’ve been able to wake up and see without having to “look for my glasses with my hands” on my nightstand. I can’t wait to be able to wear sunglasses and see while enjoying our swimming pool. This surgery has motivated me to want to improve my well-being and become healthier.  Thank you again.  Every member of your staff treated me with kindness and respect in every aspect of this journey.  God Bless you for providing this service.”
