Black lines in peripheral vision, following cataract surgery
I had my left eye cataract surgery done almost a month ago. There is a black line in the peripheral vision on the left. The surgeon said that it should go away in time, and almost always is only the left eye. Well, I had my right eye done last week and of course I have it in my right eye as well! Anyone else have this issue and did it go away in time? Thanks!

You may be seeing the edges of the lens’s. I had a similar experience. After several months it got better but I occasionally in certain lighting situations still still the edges. However I also have positive dysphotopsia from my cataract surgeries.

3 ReactionsI had my surgeries last September and October. I still have those black lines. They are especially obvious when I’m tired. I have heard and read that these can go away completely or not. Your brain can adapt and it can take many months.

2 ReactionsThat’s what I’m thinking. That I’ll just have to get used to them. I guess it could be worse. At least there are off to the side of my vision and not right in the middle!
