Why am I am feeling dizzy after cataract surgery?

Why am I am feeling dizzy after cataract surgery?

There a couple of reasons why patients report feeling dizzy after cataract surgery

#1 – If only one eye is done, there can be significant imbalance in prescription and image quality

#2 – You may have prism or correction that is not fixed with cataract surgery.  You may be frustrated until you get your new glasses!

#3 – You are used to the distortion that your old glasses induce.  Post cataract surgery, you suddenly do not need distance glasses (no distortion).  It can take a while for your brain to adapt.

#4 – You may need to adjust from seeing well up close to now seeing well in the distance
