7 Key Symptoms of a Dislocated Intraocular Lens After Cataract Surgery

A  Dislocated Intraocular Lens is a rare but significant complication that can occur after cataract surgery. Recognizing the symptoms early is crucial for timely intervention. Common signs include:

1. Blurred Vision: A noticeable decrease in visual clarity.
2. Double Vision: Seeing overlapping or split images.
3. Distorted Vision: Objects may appear tilted, stretched, or misaligned.
4. Increased Glare or Halos: Sensitivity to bright lights, particularly at night.
5. Eye Pain or Discomfort: Persistent aching or a foreign body sensation.
6. Shifting Focus: Difficulty maintaining stable, clear vision.
7. Visible Lens Edge: In some cases, the lens may visibly shift out of its intended position.

If you experience these symptoms, contact your eye care provider immediately. Timely diagnosis and treatment, which may include repositioning or replacing the IOL, are essential to restore vision and prevent further complications.
