Wrong lens inplanted in my eye
I just had cataract surgery and the wrong lens were inplants. Is it possable to replace it with the correct lens,
and what are the risks to my eye and vision? I am scheduled for the second surgery. My doctor is said to be the best.

How do you know if the wrong lens was used? I recently had cataract surgery and suspect that a mistake was made.
Thanks.

It is relative easy to fix. Discuss this with your doctor.

I thought I was getting a lens to emprove my distance vision but instead I got a lens for intermediate distance. There was a lack of communication between the doctor and me before the surgery. His plan was for Multifocal (accommodative) IOLs. I don't think I want surgery in the other eye right away. So that won't wook for me. Plus I think I would always regret it if I let it remain this way. My plan was for Monofocal IOLs for distance and glasses for near vision.
