What is RLE?
Refractive lens exchange is a procedure wherein your eye’s natural lens is replaced with an artificial intraocular lens. This simple procedure is an excellent option for older patients who struggle with their distance vision without glasses. “The beauty of RLE is that it is a viable option for vision correction for just about anyone. It takes about 15-20 minutes to make a big improvement in a person’s life,” says Dr. Harton.
Is corrective surgery right for you?
There is no need to drive to Atlanta or Chattanooga to learn about your vision options. “Here at our practice, we consult with our patients the risks and benefits of all our treatments including LASIK. Patients who currently are wearing correction lenses for distance, come here and know that they have options, at a competitive price,” explains Dr. Harton. “ICL and RLE are good products that help people. Just like LASIK, they have proven lasting results, with no long-term maintenance required. In some cases, a combination of treatments can be done. For example, patients who have ICL or RLE surgery may be candidates to have subsequent LASIK or PRK treatment to fine tune their results.”
Comprehensive Care
What sets the Harbin Clinic Eye Center apart is their commitment to patient care. Dr. Harton explains, “For example, patients referred to us from family practice or internal medicine for routine examinations related to diabetes or rheumatologic disease will find the best staff eager to help our mutual patients. The Harbin Clinic Eye Center works hard to provide comprehensive care, and outstanding results.”
