explanting Restor IOL, decision help needed

sparing repeating the details from  my prior posts, regarding dissatisfaction  with Restor multifocal IOLs, my primary problem is loss of quality of  prior (nearsighted) sharp near vision. Now it feels like I'm farsighted, its been about 6 weeks with no improvement. The original Dr said he would discuss changing them if I wanted,  after upcoming  next post-op check  and I believe he is a good surgeon, though he convinced me these lenses would do it all, but that didn't happen. I am going for second opinion  right after that with supposed renowned Dr., if both give same opinion, if my best solution is explanting them,  HOW do I decide, WHAT do I ask, to know , find  and decide who is best choice for explanting these? any helpful input, advice or suggestions would be appreciated

What is your uncorrected distance and near vision?  Do you have a residual refractive error or a surface problems.?

The IOL can be exchanged months after surgery.  I do not believe you have given enough time for adaptation and healing.
