Mark Packer, MD, Medical Director Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE) completely eliminates or reduces the need for glasses, including bifocals. It is an alternative procedure to laser vision correction and other refractive surgery procedures. It corrects nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and even presbyopia using new technology intraocular lens implants (IOLs). Presbyopia is a progressive condition typically requiring individuals over the age of 40 to become dependent on reading glasses.
Dr. Packer grew up in California, graduated cum laude from Harvard University, and received his medical degree from the University of California at Davis. He completed his training in Ophthalmology at Boston University Medical Center. Mark Packer, MD, is recognized internationally as a leader in Refractive Lens Exchange, and is acknowledged across the globe for groundbreaking advancements in ophthalmology. Mark Packer’s career demonstrates his dedication to improving care and enhancing outcomes through technological innovation. He strives towards increased safety and providing optimal results for all patients.
RLE is highly safe and successful. Millions of eyes have received IOLs when undergoing cataract surgery using the same highly successful surgical techniques used in RLE. RLE may be the procedure of choice for patients who are too nearsighted, too farsighted, or have corneas that are too thin for laser vision correction. It may also be a viable alternative for those over the age of 40 who wish to eliminate their dependence on bifocals or reading glasses and for those individuals who may be showing signs of developing cataracts.
Nadia Hesham, MD Dr. Hesham obtained a Bachelors of Science in biochemistry and biophysics from Rensselaer Polytchnic Institute in Troy, New York, then received her medical degree from Albany Medical College in Albany NY. She completed her residency in Ophthalmology at Albany Medical Center. Dr. Hesham was inducted into the prestigious Alpha Omega Alpha medical honor society, and was elected chief resident by her peers and faculty. Nadia Hesham’s achievements demonstrate her willingness to go the extra mile for her patients. Her top priority is for her patients to achieve the best vision possible.

ere are three anatomical factors that contribute to how well the eye can focus images: the curvature of the cornea, the power of the eye’s internal natural lens, and the length of the eye. Many vision correction procedures, such as laser vision correction, change the focusing power of the eye by changing the curvature of the cornea. RLE, on the other hand, corrects vision by replacing the eye’s natural lens with an intraocular lens of the appropriate power for each person’s eye length and corneal curvature.
