Re-do cataract surgery

[conniecat]

I had clear lens exchange two years ago and have not been happy.  I had Restor lenses put in.  My biggest complaint is night driving.  I have halos and glare.  Can the surgery be redone with regular lenses or can you suggest help with night driving.

I am not a doctor only a patient such as yourself. I did have a Restor lens exchanged for a monofocal lens six months post surgery. The refraction in the Restor was in error leaving me far sighted without good vision at any distance in addition to the problems you mentioned. There are sevreral threads from readers of this forum about IOL exchange if you check the archives.
The procedure is not without risk but can be accomplished with an experienced surgeon. You need to weigh the risks and benefits seriously and decide whether it would be worth it.
good luck

Dear conniecat,

I would recommend that you sepak with your eyeMD about the risks and benefits of the possible solutions including eyedrops, glasses, colored contact lenses and intraocular lens exchange.
