Custom Lens Replacement Surgery
The human lens is a marvel of nature that allows us to autofocus on near and far objects and everything in between. Around age 47, this autofocus starts to diminish for near vision and distance vision, resulting in a clear but dysfunctional lens. This leads to the need for reading glasses and bifocals. Custom Lens Replacement surgery (CLR), also known as Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE), involves replacing the eye’s natural lens that is dysfunctional with a new artificial lens. The procedure results in improved vision and can eliminate the need for bifocals or readers. The new advanced intraocular lenses will last a lifetime and can prevent the need for future cataract surgery.
How it works.
During your lens implant surgery, your dysfunctional lens is replaced by a new artificial lens called an intraocular lens (IOL). The intraocular lens implant will not alter the outward appearance of your eye, but it will drastically improve your vision. We offer different options for intraocular lenses, including a multifocal IOL. These lens implants can be customized to meet your specific visual needs. Custom Lens Replacement surgery can provide astigmatism correction in addition to correcting any presbyopia, myopia, or hyperopia you may have. Our intraocular lens options provide excellent visual outcomes, and patients often ask why they didn’t do this sooner.

Eyeglass Prescription
It starts with a Custom Lens Replacement consultation.
A consultation costs $150 because we do more than a quick “screening.” Your initial consultation includes a full diagnostic workup using seven different tests and the latest technology. You’ll then sit down with our doctors and discuss the PERFECT vision correction procedure tailored specifically for you and other valuable information regarding the health of your eyes. You’ll also be able to meet Dr. Waite, your eye surgeon. Your $150 investment then goes towards your vision correction procedure.
How much are glasses and contacts costing you?
The average person spends $25,000+ on glasses, contact lenses, solution, eye exams, etc. It’s like renting “good” vision from the glasses and contact lens industry. Worst of all, these will NEVER improve your vision. Use our affordability calculator and see how much you can save by getting Custom Lens Replacement Surgery.

Cory’s ICL Testimonial
Cory came to Waite Vision to get rid of his glasses. Hear his story of his experience getting ICL, or an Implantable Collamer Lens procedure:
My name is Cory. I had ICL done here at Waite Vision earlier this year. Wore glasses since I was 4 or 5 years old. The lenses got thicker as I got older, to the point, when I came in for the first time to talk to Dr. Waite, he kind of looked at my glasses and nodded. He’s like, “You know, we can do something for you about those.” He was just very casually laid back. When they finally decided the procedure, he was great at explaining exactly what the procedure would be like, what to expect right after, and so, it was just comfortable. You come in here, it’s very relaxed, and the staff are professional. They let you know what’s going on, every test you take to make sure that they’re gonna get you the best vision possible.
They’re great at explaining everything. So, you’re not coming in just going, “Why are you doing that? Why are you doing that?” They’re great at walking you through every step so that you know what to expect. Being able to travel and not having to pack a bunch of extra things and go through TSA, that alone is worth it, and that’s just a small thing. So, all the big things like if you live an active lifestyle or, I mean, you do everything with your eyes from going to the movies, to a concert to, you know, anything. It just improves your life all around. I just finished the procedure. I turned around and looked out the window. I could read buildings, you know, across the highway, which was amazing, and then, I went and sat in a room and relaxed for a little bit and, I mean, I was driving I think the next day. So, it was pretty quick. It was pretty amazing.
Why was Custom Lens Replacement surgery recommended to me?
Custom Lens Replacement can effectively correct high amounts of nearsightedness and farsightedness along with presbyopia (need for readers or bifocals) that other procedures like LASIK or ICLs may not adequately correct. If you’ve been told you’re not an ideal candidate for LASIK, Custom Lens Replacement may be an option for you.
What are the main benefits of Custom Lens Replacement?
Custom Lens Replacement surgery is designed to make you no longer dependent on glasses or contact lenses. It is suitable for many patients who are not candidates for other vision correction procedures.
When would I recover from Custom Lens Replacement surgery?
Recovery is quick. Most patients return to normal routines within the next day or two. Each patient is different, so Dr. Waite will carefully monitor your healing after surgery.
Can I Use My HSA or FSA for Custom Lens Replacement?
Yes. Custom Lens Replacement, or RLE, is a Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account procedure. If your company offers a health or flexible spending account, you can use it to pay for custom lens replacement surgery.
