Clear Lens Exchange provides much-needed spectacle freedom, especially for presbyopic (patients needing reading glasses) and patients with cataracts and can include Monofocal or trifocal lens options.

The Monofocal lens restores vision for one distance (distance or near) and we consider many factors like the patient’s lifestyle, budget as well as other medical conditions while suggesting an option. The trifocal lens exchange is highly popular and provides distance, intermediate and near vision. We are skilled to provide and perform the best services and with the total endeavour to reduce any problem related to vision which results in a better quality of life and also helps in regaining confidence.

A dedicated nurse is provided, and one can have a choice of sedation.
