Refractive Lens Exchange at Azman Eye Care Specialists
At Azman Eye Care Specialists in Baltimore, MD, we offer Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) as a leading option for surgical vision correction. Also known as clear lens extraction, RLE is an advanced procedure designed to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses. By replacing the eye’s natural lens with a state-of-the-art intraocular lens, RLE not only enhances vision but also prevents cataracts from developing in the future. With stable, long-lasting results, this procedure provides a lifetime of improved vision.
What Is Refractive Lens Exchange?
Refractive Lens Exchange involves replacing the eye’s natural lens with an artificial intraocular lens (IOL) designed to correct refractive errors such as: Nearsightedness (myopia), Farsightedness (hyperopia), and Astigmatism
RLE also addresses presbyopia, the age-related loss of near vision that typically begins around age 40. If you find yourself struggling to read menus, text messages, or books, RLE offers a permanent solution to restore your ability to focus on near and far objects without the need for reading glasses or bifocals.
EXCELLENT Based on 185 reviews Posted on Eric Gainey JrTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment you walk into the office, you feel taken care of. Dr. Azman is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient and thorough. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes sure you understand your eye health. I’ve never felt rushed, and I always leave feeling confident about my vision care. On top of that, he genuinely cares about his patients. You can tell this isn’t just a job for him he has a real passion for what he does. If you’re looking for an eye doctor who is professional, caring, and simply the best at what he does, look no further. Additionally the office looks amazing. Hands down, Dr. Azman is the greatest of all time when it comes to eye care!Posted on R WarschawskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been a patient of Azman Eye Care Specialists for many years. I know I can count on Drs. Azman to take care of my vision needs patiently and with state of the art skills. I see well, and my contact lens needs are easily accommodated. Their care and concern for me as a patient is genuine and reassuring. Everyone in the practice is friendly, helpful, and accommodating.Posted on Matthew BooneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred by my AME for a color blind test for the new FAA regulations for a new student pilot. With a clear and informative talk with one of the doctors, I was able to obtain all the information about the specific FAA tests that are required that they also offer in their practice. Fortunately I was able to use that information to find a place closer to me that offers this service (which is not easy to find by the way). I am so thankful for the informative talk and professionalism they showed me. Thank you so much!!Posted on Angela PayneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I started seeing Dr. Tom over 20 years ago and have had the pleasure of being helped by Dr. Benjamin Azman now. They are a kind, caring, and empathetic family that go above and beyond to help their patients! I’m truly blessed to have had their expertise! Staff has always been very kind and helpful. I wish I could give them 10 stars!Posted on Kelly BrittinghamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My 10 year old daughter adorded Dr. Azman, he was kind and explained evverything in a way she and I could understand. Highly recommend him for his knowledge and wonderful bedside manner.Posted on K BTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Azman Eye Care is awesome! I highly recommend it. I went there for years, for my dry eye, fux dystrophy (sp), and when my eyes were damaged. The Azman brothers are awesome, very good at their jobs, they truly care, it is a spiritual environment, and doctors like this are not found often anymore. I started seeing Dr. Thomas Azman in 2005. I’ve seen his brother Irwin Azman also. Both great doctors! Thomas worked on my eyes at a greatly reduced price just because he wanted to. It’s their business and he can help who he wants, is what he told me. He discovered my dry eye issues and my fux dystrophy. He gave me the drops that are saving me from needing eye surgery. During COVID quarantine, in 2020, I got eye damage and that was the only office that would open for me, at first, despite not being open. There were a number of times where I needed to talk to Dr. Irwin Azman on the phone, when I was very stressed about my eye damage. He took the time talking with me that most other doctors wouldn’t. He would let me call him on his personal phone number whenever. He would have lengthy conversation s with me and walk me through my problems and stress. If he was in the middle of something, like picking up a prescription for his wife, he would call me right back to make sure I was okay. When I almost needed surgery, he asked me to let him find and hand picked the best surgeon possible, for the job. It was a guy in John Hopkins who was an a excellent choice. I ended up not needing surgery. Irwin even tried to save me hundreds of dollars by suggesting I do some of my tests with the other guy instead of him, so that my insurance could help more. Dr. Irwin Azman was clearly not in it for himself or money. I had him do it anyways though, because his opinion was one I highly valued. The only reason I don’t still go there is because they can no longer take my insurance. Otherwise, I would still go there. I always respect a practice that is openly spiritual! We shouldn’t underestimate the need to get God involved and the spiritual factor in medical issues. I highly recommend Azman Eye Care!!!!! Also, I should mention that when I was a patient here, I only lived near by for the first 2 years, but stayed a patient here from 2005-2020 despite it being an hour or longer drive away. That’s how worth it it was. Again, the only reason I stopped going there was because of insurance. Otherwise, I would still be there.Posted on AVRAHAM SIDELLTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the receptionist to the optometrist, everyone was friendly and professional. The office was very clean and comfortable. The care was excellent, with the latest equipment . I was very impressed with Azman eye care specialists. This will be my new eye Dr.Posted on Zubin DavidTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful office and Incredible optometry doctor. Dr Azman is phenomenal at what he does.Posted on Noah JanssenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible Optometry! I flew from Utah to Maryland to get my colorblindness corrected for my job and had nothing but doubts about the entire thing. Dr. Azman is very passionate about colorblindness and undeniably seasoned in his practice of correcting it. He will let you know more about colorblindness than you ever wanted to know. I’m not sure why this service is not available all around the United States. People travel from various countries all over the world to walk into this small office in Baltimore Maryland and every single one of them walks out with their colorblindness corrected. The appointment is 100% what they advertise. If you need to see color for any reason go see doctor Azman!Posted on Sam MartinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Azman cares deeply about his patients and is committed to his craft. He is incredibly detail oriented, and unlike many doctors, takes the extra time to explain and make sure things are right. I feel very lucky to be under his care.

Understanding Presbyopia
Presbyopia is a natural part of the aging process that affects nearly everyone, typically starting around age 40. It occurs as the lens of the eye gradually loses its flexibility, making it difficult to focus on close objects. This condition often results in the need for reading glasses or bifocals, even for individuals who have never experienced vision problems before.
If you find yourself struggling to read small print on labels, menus, text messages, or books, it may be time to explore a vision solution. Beyond the frustration of difficulty seeing clearly up close, presbyopia can also cause headaches, eye strain, and visual fatigue.
How Is Presbyopia Diagnosed?

Presbyopia can be easily identified during a comprehensive eye exam, where your doctor evaluates your near vision and overall eye health. While presbyopia is not a disease and cannot be reversed, effective solutions are available to correct the issue and restore your ability to focus at all distances.
Refractive Lens Exchange for Presbyopia
For patients seeking a permanent solution to presbyopia, Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) offers an ideal option. During this outpatient procedure, the eye’s natural lens is replaced with a premium intraocular lens that provides clear vision for near, distance, or both. Unlike temporary solutions like reading glasses, RLE offers long-lasting results and eliminates the need for frequent adjustments or prescriptions.
Performed on one eye at a time with a brief recovery period in between, RLE is typically comfortable, and most patients report improved vision shortly after surgery. Additionally, since the natural lens is replaced, patients who undergo RLE will never develop cataracts in the future.
