Blurred Vision After Surgery

by Johnny949, Dec 19, 2008 07:09PM
After implant of Multifocal Lens reading vision improved, but distance vision blurry.  Before surgery distance vision was near perfect.  Now I need glasses for distance, lights have large halos.  I'm a pilot by profession and feel devastated by this surgery.  Can these lens be removed and replaced with the monofocal lens for distance?

Yes, they can.  There is a wealth of information here on your problem which you can access by using the search feature and archvies.

Get a second or even third opinion about the best course of action.

What type of IOL did you have put in your eye? Re Zoom  ReStor or Crystalens?

I have ReStor.  I had scar tissue removed and the doctor said that I can never have them removed now.
