What is lens surgery?
It's simple.
Lens surgery can change your life.
It’s an increasingly popular treatment which can be used to correct both distance and near vision. It’s also used to help people with cataracts, helping them to see the world clearly again.
Often, lens surgery is the most effective way to reduce your reliance on glasses and contact lenses. Optical Express has been helping people to do just that for more than 15 years.
What types of lens surgery are there?
There are two different types of lens surgery; the procedure that we recommend depends upon your specific needs. The first, lens replacement surgery, is also known as refractive lens exchange (RLE) and the second is Phakic intraocular lens (PIOL) surgery. At <span class="no-lb">Optical Express</span>, we offer a variety of premium lenses, so that we can provide the best solution for each patient's individual visual requirements.
