I had a PI in each eye before putting in Implantable Contact Lens (I
gather it was a precautionary step). As soon as PI holes were there, I
saw a slight second image when the tear meniscus at the eyelid edge is
over the hole; the image shifts as I raise and lower the eyelid while
starting at a fixed point. This is a minor annoyance, and in most
circumstances I don't notice it. But it can be distracting when I blink
and the secondary image from a bright point source goes zipping across
my field of vision ...

Anyway, due to cataract, now I'm planning normal cataract surgery on the
right eye - explanting the ICL and replacing the crystalline lens with
an IOL. Would it be feasible and simple to reverse the PI while the
doctor is in the eye? It'd be nice to get rid of the annoyance, but it
isn't worth turning straightforward surgery into something complicated.

Thanks,

In short, NO.
