Does refractive lens exchange hurt?

IN THIS VIDEO, DR ERIK CHOTINER DISCUSSES HOW PATIENTS USUALLY FEEL AFTER THEIR REFRACTIVE LENS EXCHANGE PROCEDURE

Typically, refractive lens exchange doesn’t hurt at all. We give patients topical anesthesia to numb the eye completely and some mild twilight sedation to minimize any significant pain or discomfort during and after the procedure. 

Many patients tell me that they didn’t even know the surgery had occurred when I tell them that it’s finished.

Find out if you’re clinically suitable for vision correction and book your free appointment using our online scheduler, or give us a call on (717) 996-3016. 

If you’re serious about clear vision and reducing or eliminating your dependence on corrective eyewear, this is the ideal next step. Not only will it give you the certainty you need regarding the best treatment for you, but it’s also free! Book now.
