Had cataract surgery one week apart after last have double vision how long will this last?

The double vision after cataract surgery usually resolves within a few days to weeks. Occasionally this can persist especially in certain surgeries.

Here are a few reasons why you may experience double vision after cataract surgery:

- Swelling: After cataract surgery, it is common for the eye to experience some swelling. This swelling can cause the cornea, which is the clear front part of the eye, to change shape. This change in shape can lead to double vision.

- Misalignment of the eye muscles: The muscles that control the movement of the eye may be temporarily misaligned after cataract surgery. This misalignment can also cause double vision.

- Dry eyes: Cataract surgery can cause the eyes to become dry. Dry eyes can make it difficult to see clearly and can also contribute to double vision.

In most cases, the double vision after cataract surgery will resolve on its own within a few days to weeks. However, if the double vision persists for more than a few weeks, you should see your eye doctor. There may be an underlying problem that needs to be addressed.

Here are a few things you can do to help the double vision resolve more quickly:

- Use artificial tears: Artificial tears can help to keep your eyes moist and reduce dry eye symptoms.

- Avoid strenuous activity: Strenuous activity can increase the pressure in your eyes and make the double vision worse.

- Rest your eyes: Give your eyes plenty of rest after cataract surgery. Avoid reading, watching TV, or using the computer for long periods of time.

- Follow your doctor's instructions: Your eye doctor will give you specific instructions on how to care for your eyes after cataract surgery. Be sure to follow these instructions carefully.
