I had the Rezoom lense taken out on Jan 26th.Everything went well.The doctor replaced the lense with a Staar 2010 iol--(Not sure about the number.)I could get the correct # if needed.The next day after surgery I went back for the check-up.I told the doctor which was a different doctor then who did the surgery.I told him the big halos are gone but still have what I call big sparkler type effect around lights and car headlights lights.My distance is still alittle blury,But could read the books he had in the waiting room.He told me everything looks ok that its been only one day to come back in two weeks.In two weeks I went back and saw the doctor that did the surgery.I also told him about the the problems.He told me I have 20/30.He also look at the eye and had to laser off two little hanging strands the size of hair that he said was from scare tissue.He told me to wait three months and come back to see him again.He said there was some cloudness that may be the problem.I was expecting to have good distance with out the light problems and was told I would have to either wear glasses for reading or put in a contact lense.I have a gut feeling that the wrong iol powers was put in.My question is can the lense be taken out again.Also if the wrong lense was put in isn't it the fault of the doctor and the clinic to replace the lense with no charge.Thanks

Is this other eye care forum also on MedHelp.org?  If yes, what's the name of the forum?
