reposition IOL after treatment for poc

I had a regular IOL put in after cataract treatment on 5/6.  Now one doctor says I have posterior capsular opacification and another says the IOL is off center.  Can you reposition an IOL after laser treatment for the posterior capsular opacification ....or must it be done first?  Thanks

The IOL should be repositioned BEFORE a laser. However I would get a third opinion about whether the IOL is decentered enough to really need surgery. Many IOLs drift off center after time and it doesn't really cause any problems.  Find a second opinion at www.aao.org
