Clear Lens Extraction is a procedure used to correct your prescription so that you can have good vision with the use of glasses – an alternative to laser eye surgery. Further points to note are:

• Unlike other refractive procedures that change the shape of the cornea, clear lens extraction corrects vision by removing the crystalline lens in the eye and replacing it with a new artificial lens of a different focusing power, much like what happens in cataract surgery.
• State-of-the-art visual assessment technology is used to assess the type of lens which best suits the patient and meets their overall needs. The new lens that is implanted is known as an intraocular lens (IOL).
• The majority of patients notice that their vision improves relatively quickly after a clear lens extraction procedure. This is usually noticeable after 1-2 days.
