Will you get cataracts after RLE? Short answer: no—and that’s one of the biggest advantages.
With Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), the natural lens that would eventually develop a cataract is replaced with a clear artificial lens. That means you’re not just improving distance, near vision, and astigmatism—you’re also *removing* the source of future cataracts.
