“…Numerous surgical techniques, both conventional and laser-assisted are offered, and a series of IOL technologies have been introduced that attempt to restore the pre-presbyopic functionality of the optical system. [12][13][14][15] Despite the impressive collection of presbyopic IOLs, only trifocal ones are inherently designed to address distant, intermediate, and near vision needs. However, multifocality is not a physiological optical state for the human eye, which is a constantly variable monofocal optical medium that provides infinite focal points.…”

“…Presbyopic IOLs can be implanted either in cataract or in clear lens cases. [11][12][13][14] In most studies, pseudophakic presbyopic corrections have been associated with high levels of patients' satisfaction. However, published reports suggested that potential candidates should be carefully selected because anatomical and psychological characteristics modify heavily the perceived success of the intervention.…”

The article describes the author’s experiences related to the replacement of an artificial lens with a different model. Reasons for the procedure are described and attention is paid to the stages of lens removal that may affect the final result of the procedure. Lens replacement procedures were performed by one surgeon in the period from one month to over 6 years from the initial implantation procedure. Calcification, glistening and subsequent opacification of the artificial lens are among the main reasons for removing an artificial lens after several years. Removal of the lens in a short time, up to 15 months, resulted from the desire to see without glasses to far and near distances, the presence of a residual defect, and the quality of vision unacceptable to the patient related to the implantation of a premium class lens. The presence of secondary cataract greatly facilitates the lens replacement process.

Refractive lens exchange (RLE) is a popular procedure in presbyopic patients who desire the full range of vision. Advances in IOL designs can allow patients to achieve distance, intermediate, and near vision without the need for glasses. Seeing a smart phone or computer without correction is a significant lifestyle benefit. Patient satisfaction has been very high with both multifocal and extended depth of focus implants. Candidates for RLE may have any refractive error and are usually presbyopic and desire the full range of vision. Presbyopic low hyperopes are very motivated, as they never wore distance glasses when they were younger, started with readers in their early 40s, and now need glasses for both distance and near activities. Most hyperopic, myopic, and astigmatic refractive errors can be treated with a RLE. Patients should have a normal cornea, macula, optic nerve, and peripheral retina. Diagnostic testing should demonstrate a normal corneal topography without evidence of irregular astigmatism. CE Notification: This article is available as a COPE accredited CE course.
