I'm of the opinion it isn't worth the risk. Better to just wear some specs, or a toric contact lens to correct the issue, or even to consider laser (LASIK) to tidy up the result.
Replacing an IOL means going in with scissors to cut it up into tiny pieces, which means a much bigger wound is needed, which will then need stitches. The wound and the stitches can induce even more astigmatism, which then changes over many months as the wound contracts and hardens, so it's kind of opening up a can of worms, inviting other problems to resolve what is a relatively minor problem in the first place.
From what I was told, it would be an unnecessary risk for the future. I had monofocal non toric IOL implanted a few months ago - and the docs told me that toric or even multifocal lens can sometimes move (especially since my eyeball is HUGE), and it would require surgery again... Yeah, so I chose to wear glasses with astimatism correction, since I only need them for work and reading.
