.In Trouble with ReStor IOL +3

Should a patient with presurgery conditions have this lens implanted? Listed as follows: Posterior vitreous separation, Vitreoretinal  traction, AMD drusen, macular degeneration, and Lattice degeneration. Thanks for any advice you might have.

Thank You. I have had the cataracts taken out, and seen better before.  There is complications with my vision.  My surgeon has left me to find my own answers. Two lag laser surgeries later, I can now see my finger nails.  With other problems I end up at a retinal specialist. He saw the reasons for my problems.  I asked twice to have these lens removed and I keep getting put off.  Is it true the longer I put this off and with the lag laser treatments, would I be at a higher risk?
