This causes your vision, both near and far, to deteriorate. With a lens replacement, your own natural lens is replaced by a very advanced artificial lens, or lens implant. This will enable your eye to see clearly again from far, medium distance, and nearby. The impact of this treatment is permanent as the lens implant has a permanent correction that will not change over time. In 80% of cases, no glasses are needed after the procedure. In 15% of cases, glasses may still be needed mostly for sharp vision at medium distance (60 to 70\u00a0cm). Only in 5% of the cases are glasses still regularly needed.\u00a0This can almost always be corrected by means of an extra laser treatment of the cornea.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9bac182 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"9bac182\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1140817 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1140817\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f444e7f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"f444e7f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5916d8f elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5916d8f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong><span lang=\"EN-GB\">Lens replacement with laser<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-36a75ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"36a75ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">As one of the few eye centers in Belgium, we can offer a lens replacement without the need for any incisions.
