Refractive Lensectomy
A refractive surgical procedure that is commonly used to treat patients with cataracts. The procedure has been modified to also correct nearsightedness in high prescription ranges and most ranges of farsightedness. During the lensectomy procedure, the natural lens (crystalline lens) is extracted and an artificial lens is implanted. The power of the artificial lens is determined preoperatively during the full eye examination. There is minimal discomfort and visual recovery is very rapid.
