Around age 50, many people start having trouble seeing up close, relying on reading glasses, or struggling with vision at multiple distances. RLE and No-Blade RLE are treatment options for age-related farsightedness that replace the eye's natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens, providing clear vision at near, intermediate, and far distances while also reducing the future risk of cataracts.
What Are RLE and No-Blade RLE
What Is Standard RLE
Standard RLE is a surgical procedure that replaces the eye's natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL). A multifocal IOL can be chosen to provide near, intermediate, and far vision, and a multifocal + toric IOL is also available for patients who also have astigmatism.
What Is No-Blade RLE
No-Blade RLE is a bladeless lens replacement surgery for correcting age-related farsightedness. It uses laser technology to assist key steps of the procedure, improving precision and reducing the use of instruments inside the eye. The Laser Vision Presbyopia Center is a pioneer in this treatment technique.

Key Features of RLE & No-Blade RLE
- ✔ Provides clear vision at multiple distances – near, intermediate, and far
- ✔ The artificial intraocular lens can last more than 50 years, or a lifetime
- ✔ Reduces the future risk of cataracts, since the natural lens has already been replaced
- ✔ Easy visual adaptation, since both eyes can see clearly at multiple distances
- ✔ Surgery takes about 15 minutes per eye, with usable vision typically starting about 1 day afterward
Who Is RLE & No-Blade RLE Suitable For
RLE and No-Blade RLE are suitable for people around age 50 or older who have age-related farsightedness, want to reduce their dependence on glasses, and want clear vision at multiple distances, including those with astigmatism, who may choose a multifocal + toric IOL.
This treatment is a surgical procedure that requires more preparation than LASIK and a detailed 11-item eye health assessment. Not everyone is a candidate for this treatment, so it's important to consult a specialist ophthalmologist to choose the most suitable lens type and surgical method for each individual.
Presbyopia Treatment Options at the Laser Vision Presbyopia Center
The Laser Vision Presbyopia Center at Bangkok Eye Hospital offers a range of technologies for treating age-related farsightedness – the LASIK group, including NanoPresby LASIK, Presby LASIK, and SMILE Pro™ 2.0 (Monovision); the lens-implant group, including Presby ICL and No-Blade Presby ICL; and lens replacement surgery with RLE and No-Blade RLE – so an ophthalmologist can select the treatment best suited to each patient's age, refractive error, eye structure, and lifestyle.
