Lens Replacement Surgery at Precision
Vision London
Lens Replacement Surgery, also known as refractive lens exchange (RLE), involves replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to correct vision issues such as hypermetropia (long-sightedness), myopia (short-sightedness), and presbyopia (age-related vision decline). This procedure aims to improve vision clarity and reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. Many of our patients report rapid recovery and significant improvement in their vision post-surgery.
This advanced procedure involves removing the eye’s natural lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL), ensuring proper light focus through the eye. The surgery is quick, easy, and widely regarded as safe and effective. Our professional team will conduct thorough screenings and tests to determine your suitability for the procedure.
Lens replacement surgery will not alter the appearance or colour of your eyes. Experience the life-changing benefits of lens replacement surgery at Precision Vision London. Schedule your consultation today!
Permanent Solution: Unlike glasses or contact lenses that require frequent replacements, lens replacement surgery offers a long-lasting correction for your vision prescription. This means no more buying multiple pairs of glasses for different needs, such as reading and distance vision.
Enhanced Visual Freedom: Enjoy the freedom of participating in activities like swimming without the hassle of prescription eyewear. Our patients often express relief at no longer needing to carry multiple pairs of glasses or relying on contact lenses, which can be inconvenient and uncomfortable.
Reduced Risk of Eye Issues: Contact lenses can increase the risk of eye infections and ulcers. By choosing lens replacement surgery, you minimise these risks and eliminate them entirely after recovery. Plus, you won’t have to worry about fogged-up glasses while wearing masks.
Boost in Confidence: Many of our patients appreciate the confidence boost from not having to wear glasses. They no longer worry about how they look in photos or social settings without their glasses.
Cost-Effective: Over a lifetime, the cost of glasses and contact lenses can add up significantly. Lens replacement surgery is a one-time investment that offers permanent correction, saving you money in the long run.
Environmental Impact: Reduce environmental waste from discarded contact lenses and packaging by opting for lens replacement surgery.
Comfort: Say goodbye to the discomfort of heavy glasses and the imprints they leave on your nose and ears. Enjoy the comfort and clarity of clear vision without the need for corrective eyewear.
Prevent Future Cataracts: One of the significant benefits of lens replacement surgery is the prevention of cataracts, eliminating the stress of dealing with this inevitable vision loss in the future.

Intraocular Lens Implants (IOLs)
About Intraocular Lens Implants (IOLs)
Welcome to Precision Vision London – Your Leading Specialist in Intraocular Lens Implants
At Precision Vision London, we elevate beyond the standard offerings of NHS providers. While basic Monofocal lenses are common elsewhere, our commitment to delivering truly tailored treatments sets us apart. We focus on customizing intraocular lens (IOL) implants based on your unique needs, determined through an in-depth consultation with our experienced surgeons.
Unlike traditional multifocal IOLs that initially promised improvements in distance and near vision, our clinic recognizes the evolving demands on intermediate vision in today’s digital age. Introducing Trifocal IOLs, the latest generation of multifocal lenses that redefine vision correction.
Trifocal IOLs provide a comprehensive solution, correcting distance, near, and crucially, intermediate vision. This innovation ensures you can perform daily tasks, including computer work, without the need for glasses. Unlike varifocal glasses or multifocal contact lenses, adapting to Trifocal IOLs is seamless and natural.
The cutting-edge technology behind Trifocal IOLs ensures efficient light transmittance through the lens implant, leading to improved intermediate vision with minimal glare and halos, especially noticeable at night. Published reports emphasize elevated levels of patient satisfaction, superior vision quality (especially during nighttime), and reduced dependence on glasses. Imagine a life with clear vision at all distances!
Precision Vision London exclusively embraces these revolutionary Trifocal lenses. As an independent clinic with no ties to specific lens manufacturers, we have the flexibility to correct a wide range of prescriptions. Our reputation is founded on successfully treating patients considered unsuitable by other clinics.
Beyond the immediate benefits of vision correction, our Lens Replacement procedure also guards against future cataract development. This means you can enjoy a glasses-free life with the assurance that your vision is optimized for the long term.

Lens Replacement FAQ's
Lens Replacement treatment is suitable for those over the age of 40 whose natural lens has started to age and will naturally deteriorate over time. There is no upper age limit and no prescription limitation. The only requirement is that your prescription has stabilised and that it is not currently in the midst of a decline.
Lens Replacement is suitable for patients who have very high and complicated prescriptions that cannot be treated by Laser Eye Surgery or Implantable Contact Lens treatment.
The Lens Replacement procedure is virtually identical to cataract surgery. The only difference is that a clear lens is removed in the Lens Replacement treatment and a cloudy lens is removed in cataract surgery.
Traditional intra-ocular implants are Monofocal lenses which focus light to only one point, meaning they correct distance vision only and glasses will be needed for near vision. This is the type of lens that is typically used by the NHS.
A Trifocal intraocular lens has more than one point of focus, enabling clear distance, intermediate and near vision. It has revolutionised the results of treatment and allows for patients to be glasses free.
The optical design of intraocular lenses is completely different to varifocal spectacles. Instead of a patient needing to move their head to adjust the focus, they will be able to comfortably see distance, intermediate and near without having to make any movements. Layered concentric circles are used to correct each form of prescription issue allowing for simultaneous correction of all fields of vision.
Precision Vision provide lenses from the following companies:
Suitability for treatment and the type of lens is determined at your consultation.
If you are unsuitable for Trifocal intraocular lenses, Monofocal lenses are available. These can be used to either aim for monovision (one eye for distance, one eye for reading), or to correct your distance vision in both eyes and glasses will be needed for near vision. This will all be explained in detail during your consultation
Once the natural lens has been removed and replaced with lens implants patients will likely never require surgery again. The materials from which the lenses are made from have been subject to accelerated ageing tests. Results have demonstrated that the lens material will last in excess of 150 years before showing signs of degradation.
No pain is felt as anaesthetic drops are used to numb the eye. However some discomfort or pressure can be felt during the procedure.
Most patients notice a difference to their vision immediately after the procedure. Distance vision is the first field of vision to settle, typically taking 24 to 48 hours. However, it can take slightly longer to adjust to the new reading vision.
Generally you will need 3-5 days off work (for most office jobs). Two for the treatment and one or two days afterwards to rest. Patients are able to perform most day to day tasks one day after surgery without any difficulty. Your working environment will also be taken into consideration and our surgeon will advise on what precautions should be taken at your consultation.
There will be a few restrictions after treatment. Examples include avoiding sports that may cause trauma to the eye, avoiding dusty environments and lifting heavy weights. At your consultation, we will take into consideration your lifestyle and hobbies and advise you accordingly.
There is a small risk of infection with these types of procedures. To minimise the risk, each eye will be treated on a separate day.
All our treatments are carried out at our Precision Vision clinic on 22 A, Harely Street London W1 9PB. Precision Vision is one of the very few clinics in the UK where everything from consultation to surgery and aftercare is conducted under one roof.
The Refractive Lens Exchange procedure involves removing the natural lens where a cataract would have developed. When a patient undergoes Lens Replacement treatment, it means that they will never develop a cataract in either eye at any point in the future.
Posterior capsular opacification (PCO) can sometimes occur after Lens Replacement. Sometimes you can develop a thickening of the back (posterior) of the lens capsule which holds your artificial lens in place. This thickening of the capsule causes your vision to become cloudy but it can safely and easily be treated with a quick YAG laser procedure.
The lens implant is inside the eye where there are no nerves or sensation, so it cannot be felt. It will not feel like a contact lens and you will be completely unaware that it is there, apart from experiencing greatly improved vision.
Your consultation, treatment, one day post op, two week and the six week aftercare appointments are carried out at Precision Vision’s Harley Street clinic. After this time, we can hand you over to the care of one of our nationwide independent optometrist partners, allowing you to stay closer to home for the remainder of the follow-up appointments.
