Cataract implant

Recently lost partial vision in my right eye. Had Alcon AcrySof IQ lens implant 2 years ago. Would like to know if lens failure or defect could have caused issue. Similar lens being recalled in Japan.

That is a high quality IOL with a long history of successful use and it is far more likely it is some other part of the eye that has gone bad rather than the IOL. Your Eye MD ophthalmologist should be able to tell you what the problem is, we can't from the information your posted.
