In today's video I will discuss a surgical option that can treat presbyopia permanently, AKA the need for reading glasses that starts for many people in their early 40s. This type of presbyopia eye surgery is known as refractive lens exchange surgery or RLE. I will go over how RLE works, who are candidates for RLE surgery, what to expect before and on the day of RLE surgery, the recovery process, and what are the risks of this type of surgery. Make sure you watch the entire video to learn about both the benefits and risks of RLE surgery.
If you don’t have time to watch 10 minute videos, you can follow me on Instagram @draudreytai for short fun videos to learn more tips to care for your eyes.
Let me know in the comments below if you need reading glasses now, and if so, have you heard about RLE surgery as a treatment option for presbyopia? And would you consider it 👇

I am commenting because I know youtube likes that and to encourage you and to wish you a happy lunar new year with prosperity and abundance. You are clearly knowledgeable, and kind. After watching your video I learned this surgery is painless and surprisingly quick. I do not wish to burden you with questions, I am sure you must be very busy. You speak very well, thank you for this useful well-presented video!

@eyechannelbyeyesurgeon 2 года назад

History of LASIK surgery is not an exclusion for RLE surgery. An individual consultation with an RLE surgeon can determine if someone who had LASIK surgery is a candidate for RLE surgery. I hope this helps.

@andrewwatson5360 Год назад

Thank you for providing such valuable information that generally has not been forthcoming from people (including professionals) encouraging me to have cataract surgery in both of my eyes. My vision started deteriorating in my mid 40s (I'm now 75) and after an extensive period of denial I have worn glasses on a irregular basis since. This has been due to the changes and considerable fluctuations in my lenses. At on stage I had good near vision in one eye and accurate distance in the other. This enabled me to live without glasses for some time. At present I find that the cataracts have a variable effect on my vision on a day to day basis and on some occasions there is little or no problems in most lighting conditions. (As a precaution I never drive at night) I can read without glasses but need correction for distance. I have been hesitant to have surgical correction for my vision because I can easily cope with my condition and am concerned about having to be stuck with either short or long sightedness and the associated risks of an operation. I have considered short vision in one eye and distance in the other to limit the need to wear glasses constantly. The lenses/procedure you are describing seem to be a viable option. What is the approx percentage success rate for "near normal" sight after the procedure ? I understand there are infinite variables but I'm just trying to evaluate my options in an objective way without being specifically influenced by possible biased individuals. Thank you for generous help.

@eyechannelbyeyesurgeon Год назад

In order to identify appropriate candidates for RLE surgery, a complete dilated eye exam with extensive testing is needed, and RLE sugery done by experienced eye surgeon for an appropriate candidate is typically very successful.

@salvadoribarra489 2 года назад

My name is Salvador Ibarra, I have been watching your informative videos and they are very illustrative. I believe you are a five + stars Dr. The reason I said this, is because I have met at least six eye specialist doctors after cataract surgery in 2017, and I have not seen any good results. I had heard contradicting answers to my questions from some of them. And by now I have my vision deteriorated. What should I do?. Thank you.

I had multi focal RLE last December. Surgery was successful but lasik surgery is required to fully correct my eyesight and eliminate the need for reading glasses. Lasik is scheduled for 6/2, wish me luck!

Hello, I just had multi focal RLE on my second eye a week ago and still don’t have near vision, is that why you also had to have lasik ?

After RLE do I need to get YAG laser too? My eye doctor is recommending that… I’ll appreciate your response.

@davidboston4136 2 года назад

RLE and "YAG" laser are not directly related. Many patients "RLE" or otherwise will require YAG laser, after any Cataract surgery. It's very common to require YAG after Cataract surgery. Some patients within a few months and others a few years. The "YAG" laser procedure is very brief and done on an "outpatient" basis > no hospitalization.

LASIK can be done after RLE surgery. However a successful RLE surgery should include correction of astigmatism as well.
