Flickering light in peripheral vision after cataract surgery.
Some may be related to your eye and some may be a symptom of another type of health condition like diabetes.
Obviously this answer is for informational purposes and you should be examined by your ophthalmologist because this could actually be a problem that needs treatment.
Thank you for the a2a.
After the surgery i experienced flickering light resembling strobe lighting in my vision with this eye.
The lens used was a acrysof iq intraocular lens.
This flickering may take 3 6 months to go away.
Surgery can cause posterior vitreous detachment where the vitreous separates from the retina.
It could be positive dysphotopsia.
6 weeks after surgery dilating drops were instilled and they lasted over 36 hours before i could see without dark glasses.
Sometimes after cataract surgery with lens implants light might strike the lens implant at a certain angle that might cause a flash in the peripheral vision and sometimes light might strike a lens implant in such a way that it can appear reflective to another person looking at the pupil of the eye.
During the dilation the lens must have shifted because i m seeing more of the edge of the iol wider shadow plus the angle of light entering the lens has also moved forward causing more flickering.
Flashes of light in the corner of your eye can be a symptom of many conditions.
I am 49 years old and had cataract surgery on my left eye 11 months ago.
I returned to by surgeon after 3 months and was was told this would subside in 6 to 12 months as my brain adjusts to the new lens.
