Additional information has been received stating i was told i have scarring behind this lens, and have attached an ir photo of the surface of my eye and how it reacted to the implant, requiring two more surface/removal surgeries by doctor peabody.The surface was cleared up by the two additional surface surgeries and has resolved that issue.Was told the scar behind the implant was too risky to remove, that it could just scar again, and that it was not possible to see if the lens was placed improperly, or if it has shifted, due to scarring around the lens.Told removing or replacing lens, not an option, as risks total blindness.I am on the 5th pair of glasses to correct imbalance between the eyes now, have had severe vertigo, unable to read, and need r eye cataract removed as well.Latest script is allowing some reading, corrected most of horizon line issue, and still have some vertigo.You can imagine i am totally reluctant to have the r eye cataract removal with this previous ordeal.I am submitting this and willing to help you sort this out, so no one else has to go through this.Thank you for this effort to find out what went wrong.You should also know i have multiple auto immune issues and that may have contributed to my response to a lens implant.
