Refractive Eye Exchange

There are various procedures that can be used to treat eye conditions. For example, one popular procedure is known as the refractive lens exchange. In refractive lens exchange (RLE) eye surgery, your eye's natural lens is replaced with an artificial one to achieve sharper focus.
While RLE technically does not have approval from the FDA, some surgeons in certain circumstances will use the procedure off label. This type of use is perfectly legal and sometimes a practical option for elective vision correction surgery, particularly for older people and younger people in some circumstances.
