For example, patients with extreme nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism typically are not candidates for refractive surgery. To help these patients improve their vision and achieve freedom from glasses, Dr. Lippman offers advanced clear lens exchange (CLE) treatment, utilizing the Alcon LenSx Femto Second Laser During this surgical procedure, he removes the crystalline lens and implants artificial lenses, including the accommodating Crystalens, the Restor and the Acrysof Toric Lens which become a permanent part of the eye allowing most patients to see clearly without glasses.
