An operation similar to cataract surgery called Clear Lens Extraction or Lens Exchange may be used for the correction of high degrees of short sight (myopia) and longsight (hyperopia). It is an alternative to laser refractive surgery (eg LASIK and LASEK) where such laser surgery is not possible due the size of the refractive error. For more information, visit Lens-exchange.co.uk or click here.
