Question: After my cataract
surgery and lens implant surgery I am having a problem with seeing a ring like
floating shadow which moves with the lens. What is this and will it go away?
Answer: Without a clinical exam it is impossible to know for sure but it
sounds like what you are describing could be some annoyance as you adapt to
seeing the edge of the lens implant. Sometimes the lens implant edge can
scatter light and cause a shadow or other types of visual disturbances. If this
is accompanied by an actual decrease in your vision or a bending or distortion
of your vision you should visit your cataract surgeon at once. Otherwise make
sure that you keep your follow-up appointments and ask your cataract surgeon
about it if you are still experiencing this shadow. In almost all instances
patients become accustomed the new lens implant in a matter of weeks or months
and then forget about the shadow.
