A member asked:
Can the lens be replaced if it is put not in the right place after cataracts removal?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Usually: Lenses are rarely put in the wrong place after cataract surgery, even when it is complicated and there are problems. Lenses get out of place when there are variations in the internal anatomy of the eye, fragile components which are unpredictable and some degrees of trauma. These can usually be fixed at a second surgery.

Yes IOL exchange: Implant should be put in the capsular bag in most cases. Sometimes it is put in the sulcus (behind iris, in front of capsule), or anterior chamber if no capsule support. Implants can be exchanged when needed. More info: eyedoc2020@blogspot.com
