A member asked:
Had cataracts removed from both eyes about five years ago, was wondering if i can have it redone as i am not happy with what was done?

Not really: Unless there is a significant problem, the lens implants are not usually removed. In addition, the longer they have been in place, the more risk there is in attempting to replace them. Why is it that you are not happy with the outcome? Perhaps there is another solution.

Maybe not needed: Depending on what is causing the dissatisfaction, there may be some solution to help. Unlikely that another cataract surgery would be needed. Occasionally an in-office laser treatment can help. Discuss your state with your surgeon.

Unkown answer: Why are you unhappy? You need to be evaluated to see if there are other issues that have developed and may need treatment.
