The technique is identical — micro-incision phacoemulsification with an intraocular lens implant. Cataract surgery removes a cloudy lens; refractive lens exchange replaces a still-clear lens to correct focus and presbyopia. Either way you can never develop a cataract in that eye afterwards.
Refractive lens exchange is normally self-pay because it is elective, while cataract surgery is usually covered. Ms Pearsall is recognised by Bupa, AXA Health, Aviva, WPA, Cigna, Vitality and Healix, and the secretary will tell you honestly which pathway applies before you commit.
No — the second eye normally follows one to two weeks after the first at the Leeds clinic. That allows the second lens power to be refined using the real-world result of the first eye, which improves the accuracy of your final refraction, especially with toric and trifocal lenses.
