Refractive Lens Exchange:

Clear lens extraction (CLE), also called refractive lens exchange (RLE), is the removal of natural lens of the eye with intraocular lens placement as a refractive procedure. This procedure is done for people having very high glasses number where Lasik or Phakic Implanatble Collamer Lens(ICL) is not possible.The natural lens of the eye is replaced by an intraocular lens to correct and neutralize high spectacles number.The process resembles that of cataract surgery; however in cataract surgery the lens is clouded, whereas in this surgery, the removed lens is clear.
