Double vision, or diplopia, after cataract surgery can be a concerning issue, often resulting from various causes related to the healing process or other ocular conditions. Common causes include residual refractive errors, where the eye’s new lens doesn’t fully correct vision, muscle imbalance due to surgical manipulation, dry eye, or corneal swelling.

In some cases, double vision may occur if the intraocular lens (IOL) shifts slightly out of position, leading to alignment issues. Other potential factors include pre-existing conditions like astigmatism or issues with eye muscles that may become more pronounced post-surgery. Solutions depend on the root cause: minor cases may resolve naturally as healing progresses, while persistent double vision might require corrective measures.

These can include prescription adjustments, special eyeglass prisms, eye exercises, or, in some cases, a follow-up procedure to adjust or reposition the IOL. Consulting with an eye care professional can help diagnose the exact cause and identify the best solution, ensuring that post-surgery vision is clear and stable.
