Does refractive lens exchange hurt?

Hi, it’s Matt Russell from VSON Laser Vision Specialists. If you’re thinking about vision correction, in this video, I’ll answer the common question: “Does refractive lens exchange hurt?”

Refractive lens exchange, also known as lens replacement is a procedure that is done under local anesthesia with sedation. Because of the anesthetic that’s used and because of the sedation, there is absolutely no pain at all during the procedure, and the tiny microscopic incisions that are used during the surgery heal within a matter of a few minutes.

To learn more about lens replacement, and know which eye treatment is best for you to free yourself from the hassle of glasses and contact lenses, then please book online for a free laser vision assessment on our website today.

With over 15 years of experience and over 20,000 procedures performed, I enjoy the privilege of helping patients of all ages reclaim clear vision or preserve it for as long as possible.

Vision correction and high-precision cataract surgery hinge on the expertise and skill set of the provider who also has access to the most precise tools for the job. Ophthalmic surgeons like me know how to make treatment safe, comfortable and positive for the patient. They know how to minimise the risk of complications and maximise successful outcomes.
