Restor Lens: Potential problems

[Blindin1eye]

I am now 1 year Post-op from insertion of a Restor-lens.Vision
was 20/60; now 20/200 or worse. Essentially, nothing focuses at
at any distance. We've flattened the retina with a hypo injection
and a few zaps with a YAG. No noticeable change.

Is it even concievable the lens could be manufactured incorrectly
or inserted backwards???Is there any way to "test" this idea??

Get another opinion. You need get some answers other than just wait. I am not that versed in the retina aspects of what you have going on or have enough information. But if it is the retina, there should be a diagnosis of what it is and what is going on and what the percentage chances are that you have for recovery.

Sounds like you have a retinal problem. Inserting the lens upside down would only make you a little over minus. You also said you had a YAG which does not have anything to do with the retina but clears up posterior capsule opacification. If you had a YAG it will also make the lens harder to remove which it would be at one year out anyway. I would work with you retinal vitreous doctor and ask him more questions on what they are specifically treating and why did your vision deteriorate.
