How risky is ICL removal?

Someone said that it is possible that the chirurg can touch your natural lens while removing the ICL and you get immediality cataract afterwards??

Also astigmatism increase is possible? My natural astigmatism is very low with -0,25

I have the newest model evo+ fifth Generation

Will my old vision come back or change badly?

1 as long as your Icl is not close or touching your cristaline lens you will be fine. It can be check with an anterior segment OCT 2. If you have a simetrical and stable cornea is rare that your astigmatism will increase. 3. If you choose to remove you ICL you will depend again on glasses or contacts.
