ReLEX

If you are over 40 or hyperopic (farsighted), you have probably noticed difficulty reading and now have to use reading glasses or even bifocals. This is due to the natural hardening of the lens inside your eye, which is known as presbyopia. Until recently, many people who wished to eliminate their dependence on glasses and contact lenses chose to have laser vision correction. However, LASIK does not stop the onset of presbyopia or aging of the eye.

Using the proven techniques of modern lens-based surgery, the ReLEX procedure replaces the natural lens of the eye with a new intraocular lens to correct distance vision and restore near vision. This can be achieved by a number of different intraocular lenses including multi-focal lenses, which are designed to act much like a bifocal pair of glasses, and allow patients to focus on objects at various distances, delivering a continuous range of vision, near, far and in-between.

How do I know which procedure is right for me?

There are now more options available for vision correction than ever before, making it more important for you to have a full understanding of the options available to you.

During your comprehensive vision consultation and evaluation at McFarland Eye Centers, you will have a thorough eye examination and an opportunity to discuss your options with one of our doctors. We want you to feel confident about your decision and will be here to help answer any questions along the way.
