What Happens During the Refractive Lens Exchange Procedure?

Our skilled surgeons perform refractive lens exchange as a quick, comfortable outpatient procedure, taking approximately five to ten minutes per eye. Using advanced techniques, your natural lens will be removed through a tiny incision and replaced with a prescription lens implant specially selected for your eyes.

Since the incision is so small, no stitches are needed, and recovery is rapid. Many people notice vision improvement right away after the procedure. However, it may take a few weeks for your eyes to adjust and for you to witness the full potential of your vision. You may need to use medicated drops to promote quick healing and ensure your eyes are protected.

It’s important to take these drops for the entire duration and exactly as prescribed. During your recovery, you will need to return to your eye doctor’s office for a few follow-up visits to confirm you’re seeing your absolute best.

When performed by our experienced refractive surgeons, refractive lens exchange is safe and effective. At Mueller Vision, our goal is to deliver the personalized care needed to help you see new possibilities.

Just had my cataract removed from my right eye by Dr. Mueller. Even though there was some nervousness on my part the surgery went well and was quite painless. Dr. Mueller and his staff are very attentive and explained everything to me beforehand and as he went during the procedure. My surgery is only a few days old but I can already tell a huge difference in my eyesight. I've never had a surgeon take the time to call me himself after a procedure to see how I was doing, but Dr. Mueller did exactly that, that evening. In my book you can't go wrong trusting your precious eyesight to Dr. Mueller! I'll be having my left eye done in a few days and am looking forward to seeing everything more clearly. My thanks to him and his staff as well as to the staff at the surgical facility where the procedure was done.

What a great visual experience from start to finish. That's no pun intended bc the office environment is visually appealing and relaxing as well. I just loved Dr.Crowell's energy. But only is she bubbly and energetic, but super knowledgeable as well. She patiently and honestly answered my questions as I went in with a specific concern. Instead of trying to drag me into surgery for the money, she was like "no big deal right now so let's just keep an eye on it."

Can here after discovering the EVO ICL option corrective eye surgery as an alternative to LASIK. Dr. Mueller and staff were nothing short of exceptional. They are very thorough with the pre op, surgery, and the extensive follow ups. My vision has dramatically improved and I’m already seeing 20/15 after 2 days of the procedure. For anyone considering this route, please try Mueller Vision. Dr. Mueller was one of the investigators giving trial to the FDA for getting EVO ICL approved!

My experience with Mueller Vision has been amazing! I had been battling recurrent corneal erosion after an eye injury for a tad over two years. Initially, I would have an episode every few months or so and I was kinda, sorta okay with that. Unfortunately the frequency of the erosions began increasing and that is when I decided to visit Meuller Vision. They performed a procedure (don't know the exact name of the procedure) to remove the damaged layer of my cornea. I am now three months post-op and so far, so good. Thank you to Alondra, Amy, Dr. Crowell and Dr. Meuller. You guys are great but I hope to never have to see you again.
