HELP! for Ray T Oyakawa, MD

My name is Stefoane Madalin I am.24. years old and I study dentistry at the University of Timisoara.(town) Romania (country) Eastern Europe
At 18, I began to have problems with my vision. I saw a doctor who told me I had cataract, he removed my lens and replaced it with a monofocal implant. Later, I found out that the lens implant was unnecessary, because my problem was not cataract, but hyperopia.
After the crystallin replacement, I had excimer laser therapy done to reduce the diopters for distance vison. Then I developed secondary cataract, which was treated with yag laser. Now I have difficulties with accomodation and I have to change glasses all the time in order to see clearly.
Being a dental student, I need a sharp vision all the time and it is difficult for me to manage. I also have problems with driving at night, because I see halos around objects.
I asked about the possibility to replace the monofocal crystallin with a multifocal one, but every Romanian doctor I saw told me the surgical intervention is very difficult to perforom, and there is a considerable risk that my vision will get worse.  The capsule of the crystallin was damaged during the previous intervention and it will have to be removed, then the vitreus will bulge into the anteriour chamber, and an anterior vitrectomy will be necessary, as well as another intervention for my astigmatism.
I would like to ask your opinion about implanting a multifocal crystallin on top of the monofocal one without (Multifocal Piggyback Lens )
Do you think this could be an alternative solution in my case? Thanks!

Why don't you give B&L's multifocal contact lens a try.
They work really well in normal eyes that have gone presybiopic.  Don't know how it will function in a completely fixed non-accomodative eye though...

In situations like this, I have piggybacked low power Array IOL ( multifocal IOL the previous version of the ReZoom.
