where do you live? Most surgeons do not have much experience removing IOLs as its such an unusual occurrence.

Thank you Dr Hagen, that is what I am doing.
All have been local docs and perhaps I need to travel out of town
to someone with higher level skills.

Taking these IOLs out is much more difficult than putting them in. I would urge you to get at least 3 if not 4 separate opinions from highly experienced eye MD surgeons about your best course of action.

If you live in USA you can find and Eye MD near you at www.geteyesmart.org
