The Price of Visual Freedom: How Much Does RLE Cost?

At RLE Vision, we understand how confusing it can be to get a clear understanding of the cost surrounding vision correction procedures, especially RLE or Refractive Lens Exchange – given how new RLE is to some practices. However, we make it simple with transparent pricing, while also explaining the variables that can cause that price to fluctuate.

The Numbers: A Break Down of RLE’s Cost?

At RLE Vision, we work with the top surgeons in the country to provide RLE to you. By doing so, we have been able to stabilize the price to make RLE an accessible solution, to as many people as possible. Let’s break down the numbers to how much this procedure costs and the major variables that go into the price.

The Lens: To determine what lens is right for you, during your initial exam our partner practice we will walk through your vision goals to determine what lens is right for you. Depending on the lens that you and your surgeon select, the price of your procedure will change. Matching you with the right lens can highly affect the results of the procedure – so finding your perfect match is a critical step!

Surgery: This includes the fees for the surgeon, the surgical facility, and any necessary anesthesia.

Post-Op Care: To ensure you have gotten your ideal vision results, you will visit with your surgeon post op. This covers the follow-up visits, eye drops, and any minor adjustments (if needed).

We use an all-inclusive model that covers all the expenses vs jumping from itemized bill to itemized bill – all in RLE can cost anywhere from $13,000 to $15,000.

The Benefits of Financing Refractive Lens Exchange

Don’t let the cost of RLE deter you from taking the next step towards visual freedom. For our patient’s convenience we offer different financing options to meet your individual needs – like 0% interest and affordable monthly payments.

Does Insurance Cover RLE?

Since RLE is an elective procedure, it is not covered by insurance. However, if at any point during the process we determine that you have a cataract, there is an option to use your insurance to cover cataract surgery. If you are a cataract surgery candidate, RLE Vision can still pair you with a top surgeon that can take care of your cataracts.

When making a decision like this, you can’t just weigh the monetary costs, it is also important to consider some of the other benefits of financing, like investing in your long-term visual health. RLE is not just about seeing clearly today, but rather it is about not giving up your golden years to continually degrading vision and cataracts. Why wait around for your eyes to worsen instead of acting today!
