Dear Shradha Ji,


Yes, if you have an eye power of 3.50 and wish to reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses, there are vision correction procedures such as LASIK, SMILE, or Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) surgery that be suitable. The most appropriate treatment option depends on factors such as your age, eye power, corneal thickness, and overall eye health.


An experienced ophthalmologist or refractive surgeon can perform a detailed eye examination and determine whether you are a suitable candidate for LASIK, ICL, or another vision correction procedure.


Kindly share :

  • Your age

  • Your city and state

  • Whether your eye power is -3.50 (minus) or +3.50 (plus)

  • Whether you have had a recent eye examination or vision correction evaluation


This will help us connect you with the most suitable partner hospital and experienced eye specialist near you.


Types of Lens Implantation Procedures


  • Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) / Phakic Intraocular Lens (Phakic IOL)

    • In this procedure, a special thin lens is surgically placed inside your eye, in front of your natural lens.

    • Your natural lens is kept intact, which helps preserve the eye's natural focusing ability.

    • It is often recommended for individuals with moderate to high refractive errors or thin corneas, who might not be ideal candidates for laser vision correction.

    • HexaHealth Advantage : We partner with leading ophthalmologists who specialize in ICL procedures, ensuring access to advanced technology and experienced surgeons for excellent outcomes.


  • Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) / Clear Lens Extraction

    • This procedure involves removing your eye's natural lens and replacing it with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL).

    • It's similar to cataract surgery but is done to correct refractive errors before a cataract develops.

    • Various types of IOLs are available, including monofocal, multifocal, and toric lenses, to correct different vision needs.

    • It's often considered for individuals over 40-45 years old or those with very high refractive errors.

    • HexaHealth Advantage : HexaHealth helps you compare the best hospitals offering RLE, providing transparent cost estimates and guidance on choosing the right IOL for your specific needs, enhancing your visual freedom.


Important Considerations Before Surgery


  • Comprehensive Eye Examination : A thorough evaluation by an ophthalmologist is crucial to determine your eligibility and the most suitable procedure. This includes checking your eye health, corneal thickness, and overall vision.

  • Discussion of Expectations : Understand the potential outcomes, benefits, and risks of the chosen procedure.

  • Choosing an Experienced Surgeon: The success of the surgery heavily relies on the skill and experience of your surgeon.
