Preparing for Clear Lens Exchange Surgery

Before your CLE procedure, our team invites you to a complimentary consultation. Following your consultation, we will then schedule you for a comprehensive examination to ensure you are an ideal candidate for the CLE procedure. This consultation and comprehensive examination will also provide opportunities for you to ask questions, share your vision goals, and learn more about your vision correction options.

Did you know that your tear film, the liquid layer on the surface of your eye, is responsible for over 80% of your vision clarity once the natural lens is removed? To ensure the best visual outcome after surgery, our team will prepare your tear film by recommending over-the-counter artificial tears, such as Optase Intense Drops, and an Optase Mask, which can be conveniently purchased in our offices. Other options may include Refresh Tears, Thera Tears, and Systane Lubricate Eye Drops. It is crucial to use artificial tears four times a day, and the Optase mask once a day, prior to surgery. We will also recommend continued use of both the artificial tears and the Optase Mask after surgery to maximize your vision potential.
