refractive lens replacement
Re: refractive lens replacement
My friends wife had this done recently in Australia.
She's extremely happy with it.
She just got the single vision lenses but is extremely shortsighted,
This is the same procedure as replacing the lense when you get cataracts they just put a prescription lense in place instead.
Unlike laser surgery. there is no messing with the eye;s optics, just a slit at the side of the cornea to extract and replace the lense.
Also, unlike laser surgery, it can be performed many times with no ramifications to the vision.
It's the way to go.
