Clear Lens Extraction

Clear lens extraction, also known as refractive lens exchange, is an advanced procedure to correct vision and reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses. It’s an ideal option for those over 40, especially if you're experiencing presbyopia or have thin corneas that aren't suitable for laser eye surgery.

Our consultant ophthalmic surgeons perform clear lens extraction to replace your eye’s natural lens with an artificial one, offering clearer vision and reducing reliance on glasses or contacts.

Clear lens extraction is often recommended for patients who:

• Are over 40 and are experiencing presbyopia (age-related long-sightedness)
• Have thin corneas, making them unsuitable for laser eye surgery
• Are seeking long-term vision correction without relying on glasses or contact lenses

After surgery, we will support you during your recovery with comprehensive post-surgery care to ensure the best possible outcome.

What should I bring to my consultation?
We don't need a referral from your GP or Optometrist, but we will need a copy of your most recent glasses or contact lens prescription. Your first consultation will be virtual with our team of specialist Optometrists.

How do I find out the cost of clear lens extraction?
Pricing will be confirmed after your consultation once your consultant has advised on the specific procedure best suited to your needs. The cost will vary depending on your specific vision requirements as your surgery will involve a specialist lens implant, further details can be discussed following your consultation.
