Brinton Vision Explains the Cost of RLE Surgery in St. Louis
Feb 2, 2023
February 02, 2023 - /PressAdvantage/ - Brinton Vision, the leading vision correction center in St. Louis, MO, has recently released an article that explains the cost of refractive lens exchange (RLE) surgery in St. Louis and surrounding areas. While the average patient usually can’t afford an RLE surgery, most people can now afford the RLE procedure because of modern financing alternatives. Many people are opting for the RLE procedure, which is also known as custom lens replacement (CLE), not only for the correction and restoration of vision but also to prevent cataract from developing or progressing, thus avoiding cataract surgery in the future.
RLE involves the use of a biocompatible lens to replace a natural lens that is misshaped or cloudy. The new artificial intraocular lens doesn’t deteriorate and is expected to outlast the patient. This procedure is usually required because the eye loses its capability to focus on close-up objects as people age. The usual solution for this is the use of over-the-counter reading glasses or bifocal glasses. But the RLE procedure allows people to get rid of their contact lenses or glasses.
In the US, an RLE procedure may cost from $4,000 to $10,000 per eye. Various factors can affect how much a patient will ultimately pay for an RLE procedure, just as with LASIK surgery and its various alternatives. The cost may also vary depending on the location. Thus, when considering the cost of RLE, it may be a good idea to determine whether one is paying more because of an extremely costly real estate. Thus, it may be good advice to prioritize looking for an eye surgeon that offers technology, experience, and time.
Another way to make RLE more affordable is to have it covered by insurance. Unfortunately, insurance companies consider these vision correction procedures as elective procedures, which means they are not medically necessary. All of the procedures provided at Brinton Vision are considered as medical costs, under particular conditions, can be written off as an IRS tax deduction. In their St. Louis location, patients can usually use funds from their flexible spending accounts (FSAs), health savings accounts (HSAs), and health reimbursement accounts (HRAs) to pay for the RLE procedure in part or in full.
As to whether the RLE surgery is worth the cost or not, Brinton Vision patients who have undergone it have stated that the benefits really make it well worth the cost. Many would point out that the enhanced visual perception and the independence from contacts or glasses is actually priceless. In addition, medical conditions such as cataracts, can be avoided. This implies savings on the costs of cataract surgery in the future.
Launched in 2016 by Dr. Jason P. Brinton, Brinton Vision is a vision correction practice in St. Louis, Missouri that has become popular because of Dr. Brinton’s expertise in LASIK and refractive surgery. He earned his medical doctorate degree from the Harvard Medical School and he has been board certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology. He has already conducted surgery on professional athletes and also on fellow eye surgeons from faraway places from 16 countries and in 42 states of the US. Dr. Jason P. Brinton has also written more than 100 scientific publications, abstracts, presentations, and book chapters, in different languages and he has presented lectures about LASIK and eye surgery throughout the globe and in various places in the United States, including in St. Louis.
Brinton Vision uses seven of the most cutting-edge technologies for assessing the health of a patient’s eyes. And they are among the few US providers that have all the lasers and diagnostic tools for performing LASIK and all six of its latest variations. These very modern technologies come from different places in the world and signify their commitment to provide the best possible patient care.
