Frequently Asked Questions

Lens Replacement Surgery, also known as refractive lens exchange, is a groundbreaking procedure designed to replace the eye's natural lens with a premium artificial lens, designed to correct vision issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, and presbyopia. It's an effective alternative for those who may not be suitable candidates for laser eye surgeries.

Lens Replacement Surgery is ideal for individuals over 45 who experience changes in their vision due to aging. It's particularly beneficial for those with presbyopia or those who rely heavily on bifocals or reading glasses. A thorough evaluation at Chickasha Vision will determine if this is the right path for you.

At Chickasha Vision, the procedure is performed with precision and care. It involves a small incision through which the natural lens is removed and replaced with a synthetic lens, chosen to fit your specific vision needs. The process is typically painless and completed within a short period.

We offer a variety of replacement lenses, including monofocal, multifocal, and accommodating lenses, each designed to address different vision needs. Our specialists will guide you in choosing the best option for your lifestyle and vision goals.

Recovery from Lens Replacement Surgery is generally quick, with most patients noticing improved vision within a few days. Full recovery can vary, but our team provides comprehensive care and guidance every step of the way to ensure a smooth and successful healing process.

As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, but they are minimal. Potential complications, though rare, can include infection or lens displacement. At Chickasha Vision, we discuss all risks and benefits in detail to help you make an informed decision.

The procedure typically takes about 15 minutes per eye, although you'll need to spend a few hours at the clinic for pre- and post-operative care.

The procedure is generally pain-free, as we use local anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout.
