My doctor admitted he put the wrong lens in my eye after removing my cataract, it is to powerful and my vision at a distance is blurred, can this lens be replaced with the correct one.

My Doctor doesn't want to replace the lens, he said at first he would replace it, with no problems, now he has changed his mind and doesn't want to replace it. I am now fixing to find another Doctor to do it, I don't even trust this Dr. anymore, he has been so wishy washy about everything. At first he also told me he had done replacement of the lens now he says only a few which he said you could count on one hand. Apparently he does not know what he is doing.

find a new doctor

I know if you wait to long that the lens attaches itself and it is more difficult to change - but it can be done

Thanks, I have called another doctor and have an appointment on June 3rd, he is supposed to be a really good doctor and I will see what he tells me. He is in another town from where the first doctor was.
