Cataract after 5 years of ICL surgery
I was having high myopia of -16 in left and -12 in right eye when I underwent ICL surgery in 2013. After five years of surgery My ICL lens is touching natural and cataract is developing. The ICL vault is 44um in right eye and 244 um in left eye, I have two options either to remove ICL and start wearing spectacles or get the cataract surgery done with intraocular lens having power. The latter one has a risk of retinal detachment. Please advise.

The latter one is more suitable if done at a centre with regular retina service.
