Refractive Lens Exchange FAQs

What Kind of Laser is Used for Refractive Lens Exchange?

If you choose to have refractive lens exchange for your astigmatism, nearsightedness or farsightedness, Dr. Nunnery will be using the Catalys Precision Laser System to provide you with a precise and accurate procedure with optimal results.

How Do I Decide What Type of Lens is Best for Me?

After your personalized vision analysis with Dr. Nunnery he will be able to recommend an intraocular lens (IOL) that will meet your vision and lifestyle needs. Unfortunately, it is not as simple as asking for "the best." Many factors need to be taken into consideration to obtain vision that is going to meet your needs. Lens selection is a combination of an art and a science.

What Vision Issues Can Refractive Lens Exchange Help?

Refractive lens exchange can help with nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism.

Is Refractive Lens Exchange Performed on Both Eyes at the Same Time?

No, refractive lens exchange is done one eye at a time, usually 2-3 weeks apart.

Why Do You Offer So Many Procedures?

For aging eyes, we offer proven leading-edge cataract surgery with advanced lifestyle lenses to restore your clear vision. No other LASIK center has this many options and no ophthalmology practice is this specialized.
