Since you got a more rounded edge IOL for your second cataract surgery, what was the lens used (manufacturer, and design #) and what was your result in terms of PD and also "coordination" between the two different lenses in your eyes?

Also, did you decide against an IOL exchange for the first eye?

Your reply would be most helpful to me as I am still seeking to know what questions to ask when I meet with my surgeon again.

I am embarrassed to say I don’t have the exact model and specs of this IOL, but it is made by Bausch and Lomb and a 3-piece silicone. I am 4.5 months past surgery and do have persisting PD, but I do think it’s a little better than a month ago. This right eye does have another condition called pigment dispersion that complicates things and made me more likely to have post operative PD. Note: I don’t have this condition in my left eye.

On your question of “coordinating” the 2 different IOL brands and specs of each eye, the surgeons did not tell me of anything to be concerned about.

As to consideration of IOL exchange on the left eye, I researched this and risks and out-of-pocket costs seemed to outweigh the potential reward. And, my Pittsburgh area second and third opinions were not in favor of a lens exchange.

Hope that’s of some help and good luck!
