rezoom les removal

had rezoom lens installed in both eyes,  they done work, had one removed the left eye.  vision improved quite a bit.
doctor agreed that they should come out.  doctor tried to remove the rezoom lens from my right eye and he is unable to get it out.  he tried and he said if he tried to get it out he could do real damage to my eye. It is still in my right5 eye.  

went to another doctor and he said the same thing which is i will have to live with it in my eye.

halos appear when night driving and when i close my right eye they dissapear.

constinly have to refocal my eyes because there is a haze the comes in my right eye.

need to know is there is any doctor that can take the rezoom lens out.

Dear Tim,

There are many doctors capable of removing the ReZoom lens implant, if removal is needed.  Of course, with any surgery there are risks and benefits of removal, so if you seek care of another surgeon, try to get as much information as possible.

You need to consult the surgeon in your area who gets referrals for the most difficult cases.  Other ophthalmologists know who s/he is.  Ask for a referral.
