whta is the danger of re-doing cataract surgery within a 3 month period
of the first? It must happen where an IOL is not acceptable to the
patient. They have to live with this implant for the rest of their
lives? Three are no alternatives?

Not re-doing surgery on the same eye. We're talking about operating on the
second eye before you are sure everything is going well with the first eye.

Yes, occasionally an eye has to be re-operated for various reasons,
including to remove or exchange an implanted IOL. Any reoperation, whether 1
week or 3 months later is not something one wants to do, but occasionally
HAS to do.

I am having trouble with my lenses i believe. The lenses I have uv
protection and I think this lenses is making me dizzy. What is your
trouble specifically. I have been miserable ever since I had cataract
surgery.

hi - not same as your problem. Getting various negative optic results -
edge glare, reflections - It's been 7 weeks - the doctor says this
should all go away in a few months. It doesn't feel like my eye - feel
like I have an unsuitable contact lens.
