Cataract surgery
I had cataract surgery three months ago on both eyes, and have a black frame around my vision in close up vision. Is this normal. I have been given anti inflammatory drops. Am concerned.
Thank you for your reply. As I am not from the U.S., could you please explain an IOL exchange, or a piggyback IOL, or yag. They are not terms that I am familiar with.

Is this a dark crescent temporally (toward your ears) in both eyes? If so this is call negative dysphotopsia. You can discuss this with your surgeon. There are options for treatment.

There a few theories. It can be corrected and an lOL exchange or a piggyback IOL and may be a yag. Ask your doctor.

Yes, it is precisely as you described.
Can you tell me what causes this negative dysphotopsia? Thank you
