Adéu, stiff lenses.Lens Exchange
The lens inside your eye stiffens with the years. A lens exchange replaces it with a permanent artificial one, and corrects near and distance vision together.
The lens comes out. A new one goes in.
From around forty-five, the lens inside every eye stiffens and stops focusing up close. It happens to everyone, glasses or no glasses, and no laser reaches it: a laser reshapes the cornea, and this is happening behind it.
A lens exchange replaces that lens with a permanent artificial one, through a small opening. It is the same operation as modern cataract surgery, performed many thousands of times a year.
Because the natural lens is gone, a cataract can never form later.
It is permanent. That is exactly why the conversation happens with a doctor, unhurried.
Three steps, Lens Exchange.
The opening is made
A small opening at the edge of the cornea. Nothing is reshaped and no flap is involved.
The natural lens is removed
The lens that stiffened comes out. This is the step that is shared with modern cataract surgery.
The new lens goes in
A permanent artificial lens takes its place, chosen for the vision you need at distance and up close.
Is it for you?
- Near vision is the thing that changed. From around forty-five, that happens to everyone.
- You want near and distance vision corrected together.
- What changed sits behind your cornea, so reshaping the cornea is not the answer for it.
- You are comfortable with a permanent answer, and you would rather talk it through with a doctor than read it off a page.
Your eyes decide this, not a web page. The free check measures your eyes and tells you the same day whether a lens exchange suits you, whether another of our six methods suits you better, or whether this is not for you at all.

Lens work is planned eye by eye, so your surgeon gives you your own schedule. The check-ups are included: the day after, one week and one month. You buy the prescribed drops at a pharmacy.
Both sides of it.
What it is good at
- It corrects near and distance vision together.
- The same operation as modern cataract surgery, performed many thousands of times a year.
- Because the natural lens is gone, a cataract can never form later.
- Most people are seeing well the next day.
What it asks of you
- It is permanent, not reversible. The natural lens does not go back in, and that is exactly why the conversation happens with a doctor, unhurried.
- This is work inside the eye rather than on the surface of it.
- We publish no price for it. Lens work is quoted individually at your free check, because the lens your eyes need is what sets it.
The ones people actually ask.
No. A lens exchange is permanent: it replaces the eye's natural lens. The implantable lens is the reversible one, because it sits in front of your own lens and can be taken out again.
It is the same operation, performed many thousands of times a year. What differs is the reason for it: here it corrects your vision rather than removing a clouded lens. And because the natural lens is gone, a cataract can never form later.
The lens is chosen for the vision you need at distance and up close, and at your free check we tell you honestly what to expect from the one your eyes would get. What we will not do is promise you never reach for a pair again.
When what changed is the lens inside your eye rather than the shape of your cornea. A laser reshapes the cornea, and that is not where this problem sits. Your free check tells you which of the two you are dealing with.
Lens work is quoted individually at your free check. What it costs depends on the lens your eyes need, and we would rather give you a real number for your eyes than a range that turns out not to apply to them.
No. Drops numb the eye before anything starts. You feel pressure, not pain.
If this one is not the answer.
We run six. That is the whole point: the one we recommend is the one your eyes need, not the one machine we happen to own.
Adéu, maybe.
Thirty minutes, no cost, and a straight answer the same day. We measure your eyes, learn how you use them, and tell you which of our methods fits, if any of them does.
