12	Is a more expensive multifocal lens necessarily better? Not necessarily. The best choice depends on factors such as how often you drive at night, the distance at which you usually read or use your phone, and the health of your cornea and retina. The goal i...
11	I have severe halos after receiving a multifocal IOL. Can the lens be replaced? An IOL exchange may be an option, but first we check for other causes of glare or halos, such as residual astigmatism, dry eye, posterior capsule opacification, or lens decentration. Lens exchange doe...
10	Can an intraocular lens still be exchanged many years after cataract surgery? An older IOL may still be exchanged, but surgery can become more challenging as adhesions develop between the lens and capsular bag over time. We compare the likely benefits and risks of exchange and ...
