Refractive Lensectomy
Refractive Lensectomy uses modern microsurgical cataract removal techniques to remove your natural lens. The difference between refractive lensectomy and cataract surgery is that refractive lensectomy is primarily concerned with reducing dependence on glasses or contacts. Cataract surgery is concerned with removing a patient’s cataract that is clouding their vision.
