As people enter their 50s, many may begin to experience difficulty focusing on near objects, become more dependent on reading glasses, or have difficulty seeing clearly at multiple distances. RLE and No-Blade RLE are treatment options for presbyopia that replace the eye's natural lens with an intraocular lens (IOL), helping provide vision across near, intermediate, and distance ranges while reducing the possibility of developing cataracts in the future.
What Are RLE and No-Blade RLE?
What Is Standard RLE?
Standard RLE is a procedure that replaces the natural lens inside the eye with an intraocular lens. A Multifocal IOL may be selected to support vision at near, intermediate, and distance ranges. A Multifocal + Toric IOL is also available for patients who have astigmatism.
What Is No-Blade RLE?
No-Blade RLE is a bladeless lens replacement procedure for presbyopia. Laser technology is used to assist with important steps of the procedure, helping improve precision and reduce the use of instruments inside the eye. The Presbyopia Treatment Center at Laser Vision is a pioneer in providing this treatment technique.

Key Benefits of RLE & No-Blade RLE
Who May Be Suitable for RLE & No-Blade RLE?
People with presbyopia may undergo an eye examination to determine whether this treatment is suitable for them.
RLE is a surgical procedure that requires more preparation than LASIK and involves a comprehensive 11-item eye examination. Not everyone is suitable for this treatment. An ophthalmologist should assess each patient individually to determine the appropriate lens type and surgical technique.

Which Vision Correction Technology May Be Right for You?

Each vision correction technology has different features and indications. Selecting an appropriate treatment requires consideration of refractive error, corneal thickness and curvature, age, eye health, and each person's visual needs.
