7 Key Causes and Solutions for Double Vision After Cataract Surgery

Double vision (diplopia) after cataract surgery can be concerning, affecting clarity and daily activities. While temporary in many cases, persistent double vision may indicate an underlying issue requiring medical attention.

Common Causes:
Residual Refractive Errors – Uncorrected vision problems may cause misalignment.
Dry Eyes – Post-surgery dryness can lead to fluctuating vision and double images.
Lens Displacement (IOL Dislocation) – A shifted intraocular lens can distort vision.
