1. Yes it can be removed. It's more difficult and complication prone than the original surgery.
2. Get at least two other opinions.

Thank you for your reply.
I'll take your suggestion on the two other opinions.
Is there any paticular replacement Iens that is better then most.How does one know which to choose? I chose the Crystalens HD based on what my eye doctor said was the best of the best.. and wow was that wrong!
Is there a lens with a good track record?

a monofocal aspheric IOL like the Tecnis and Alcon are in my opinion the best on the market
