What Is Lens Replacement?
Lens replacement is a surgical procedure in which the eye's natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) to improve vision. This procedure is often used to treat cataracts or significant vision problems that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. At BVA Advanced Eye Care, lens replacement offers patients an effective solution for clearer vision and a reduced dependency on corrective eyewear.

How Is Lens Replacement Performed?
Lens replacement is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort throughout the process. The surgeon begins by making a small incision in the eye to access the natural lens, which is then carefully removed using ultrasonic waves to break it up — a technique known as phacoemulsification. Once the natural lens is removed, an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) is inserted through the same incision and positioned securely in place. The procedure usually takes about 15 – 30 minutes per eye, and patients can often resume normal activities within a few days. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor the healing process and ensure optimal vision recovery.
