If you’re noticing age-related near vision blur (presbyopia), relying on readers, or feeling frustrated switching between glasses for different tasks, Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) may be worth exploring. RLE is a lens-based vision correction option that replaces your eye’s natural lens with an intraocular lens (IOL) selected for your prescription and goals.
Use this quick self-test to tell us about your vision today and what you want life to look like after treatment.
What this self-test covers
This self-test helps screen for common RLE fit factors, such as:
- Your vision goals (distance, near, or both)
- How often you use reading glasses or progressives
- Night driving comfort and screen time demands
- General eye-health considerations (best confirmed in clinic)
Important: This is not a diagnosis. Candidacy can only be confirmed with an in-person exam.
Who RLE is often designed for
RLE is commonly considered for adults who:
- Are over 40 and bothered by presbyopia/reading glasses
- Want to reduce dependence on glasses or contacts across daily activities
- May not be the best fit for corneal laser procedures, depending on the eye’s measurements (confirmed during consultation)
What happens after you submit
After you complete the self-test, you’ll be directed to a results page based on your answers. A team member may follow up to review next steps and help coordinate the right type of visit.
