Custom Lens Replacement (CLR) is a modern vision correction procedure designed to replace the eye’s natural lens with an advanced intraocular lens (IOL). This procedure eliminates the need for reading glasses and corrects vision at all distances—near, intermediate, and far.

How Multifocal Lenses Work

Multifocal lenses split incoming light to allow clear vision at multiple distances. Unlike bifocal glasses, which require tilting the head to focus, CLR lenses work naturally with your brain to provide seamless vision.

Key Benefits of Custom Lens Replacement:

  • Clear vision without reading glasses
  • Corrects presbyopia and astigmatism
  • A long-lasting solution that eliminates cataracts
  • Quick recovery with minimal discomfort

Success Rates and Patient Experiences

According to Dr. Sudhinder Koushik, a leading refractive surgeon at the Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley:

“Patients experience fantastic results with Custom Lens Replacement. The procedure is painless, takes only 10 minutes per eye, and provides long-term correction for both near and far vision.”

Most patients report immediate improvements, with full stabilization within a few weeks. Unlike LASIK, CLR provides lifelong benefits without the risk of vision regression due to age. .

Will I Need Cataract Surgery in the Future?

No! Since CLR replaces the eye’s natural lens, cataracts can never form. This makes it a permanent solution for those seeking lifelong visual clarity.
