As we age, our eyes undergo changes that can affect vision quality. Mueller Vision LASIK & Cataract Surgery, led by Dr. Brett Mueller, offers Custom Lens Replacement (CLR) as a solution for individuals over 45 experiencing presbyopia or other age-related vision issues. This advanced procedure aims to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses, enhancing overall quality of life.

What Is Custom Lens Replacement?

Custom Lens Replacement, also known as Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), involves replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct refractive errors. This procedure is particularly beneficial for individuals with presbyopia—the age-related loss of near vision—or those with high prescriptions unsuitable for LASIK or other corneal-based surgeries.

Benefits of Custom Lens Replacement

• Comprehensive Vision Correction: CLR addresses multiple vision issues, including nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and presbyopia, providing a broader range of vision correction compared to other procedures.
• Prevention of Cataracts: Since the natural lens is replaced during CLR, the development of cataracts in the future is eliminated, reducing the need for additional surgeries later in life.
• Enhanced Visual Outcomes: With advanced premium lens implants, patients can achieve improved visual acuity at various distances, reducing or eliminating the need for bifocals or reading glasses.

The Custom Lens Replacement Procedure

The CLR procedure at Mueller Vision LASIK & Cataract Surgery is performed on an outpatient basis and involves the following steps:

1. Comprehensive Eye Examination: Dr. Brett Mueller conducts a thorough assessment to determine the patient’s suitability for CLR and to select the most appropriate intraocular lens based on lifestyle and visual needs.
2. Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to ensure patient comfort throughout the procedure.
3. Lens Removal and Replacement: A small incision is made to remove the natural lens, which is then replaced with a customized artificial lens implant.
4. Recovery: Patients typically experience a quick recovery, with many noticing improved vision within a day.
