Replacement of IOL

I had cataract surgery 3 years ago.  I would like to have my IOL replaced to obtain better vision.  After 3 three years would it be considered high risk or moderate risk surgery?  
Would piggyback IOL a consideration?
Thank you.

You need to start with a complete medical eye examine to determine why you eye does not see normal. If it is just the IOL power then glasses over the IOL should bring you to 20/20.  If glasses over the IOL doesn't improve the vision then you may have other eye disease such as glaucoma, macular degeneration. See a good Eye MD. Find one at www.aao.org  and don't be in such a hurry to have another intraocular operation. It is a big deal.
