What is PRELEX (Presbyopic Lens Exchange)?

PRELEX is an advanced vision correction procedure that replaces the eye’s natural aging lens with a premium Multifocal, Trifocal, or EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) intraocular lens (IOL). These lenses restore near, intermediate, and distance vision—helping patients achieve spectacle-free vision.

It is particularly effective for:

• People above 40–45 years
• Patients struggling with presbyopia
• Those dependent on reading glasses or progressives
• Individuals with early cataract symptoms
• Patients who are not suitable for LASIK or SMILE

PRELEX is a safe, stitch-less, bladeless, and painless procedure with quick recovery and lasting results.

What is the PRELEX Eye Surgery?

PRELEX (Presbyopic Lens Exchange) is a specialized lens replacement procedure similar to advanced cataract surgery. At Ojas Maxivision Eye Hospital, Mumbai, PRELEX is performed using cutting-edge phacoemulsification systems and high-end premium IOL technology to ensure high accuracy and excellent visual outcomes.

During PRELEX:

• The natural lens is removed using micro-incision phacoemulsification
• A high-quality intraocular lens (Multifocal/Trifocal/EDOF/Toric) is implanted
• Patients achieve clear vision at all distances without glasses

The procedure takes 10–15 minutes per eye, requires no hospital stay, and offers rapid visual recovery.

How Does PRELEX Work?

Create (Micro-Incision)

A tiny 2 to 2.8 mm micro-incision is created on the cornea.
This incision is self-sealing and requires no stitches.

Remove (Natural Aging Lens Extraction)

The natural lens—which has lost flexibility due to age—is gently removed using advanced ultrasound phacoemulsification.

Replace (Premium Lens Implantation)

A premium intraocular lens (Multifocal, Trifocal, EDOF, or Toric) is implanted inside the eye to restore full-spectrum vision.

Result:

The eye immediately begins functioning with the new lens, giving you clear distance, intermediate, and near vision—without dependence on spectacles.

Advantages of PRELEX Surgery

Complete Freedom From Reading Glasses

PRELEX corrects presbyopia permanently. Patients no longer need to wear reading glasses, bifocals, or progressives.

Treats Presbyopia + Early Cataract Together

PRELEX not only restores reading vision but also removes the early or developing cataract lens—preventing future cataract surgery.

Blade-Free, Stitch-Free, Painless

Micro-incision, topical anesthesia (eye drops only), and no stitches make the procedure extremely safe and comfortable.

Rapid Recovery

Most patients notice marked improvement within 24 hours, and resume work in 1–2 days.

High Precision & Customized Vision

Premium lenses provide:

• Clear distance vision
• Sharp intermediate vision (computer use)
• Excellent near vision (reading)
• Reduced glare and improved night vision (depending on lens type)

Long-Term, Permanent Solution

Unlike LASIK or contact lenses, PRELEX results are permanent. The artificial lens does not age or deteriorate.

Ideal for Patients Above 40 Who Are Not LASIK Candidates

Patients with thin corneas, high powers, or early cataract symptoms can safely undergo PRELEX.
