This is something I should discuss with my doctor, I know. But, i'm curious now, and won't see my doctor for a few months. I have long-standing macular edema that may be related to iris irritation from my IOL. No ophthalmologist wants to remove it because it has been in place 5 yrs.and a lot of fibrosis in the capsule. Question: if the capsule was damaged by IOL removal, could an implanted contact lens replace the IOL?
