Peripheral shadows after cataract surgery

My husband had his first cataract surgery a couple yrs ago. He noticed peripheral shadows and told doctor. He said it was normal and would go away over time. Never did. Had to have cataract surgery in other eye and now several months later, he has peripheral shadows in both eyes. He can no longer golf, get nausea, and suffers anxiety from the vision distortion. He was told that he had a very large eye during measurements. He had the Alcon lens implant. Is there any cure for this?

Thankyou for your time and expertise. Do you know of anyone in the Pensacola Florida area that is an experienced expert in this type of treatment. We live in Navarre Fl zip code 32566, between Fort Walton Beach and Pensacola.

Your husband has negative dysphotopsia.  This can be treated by a piggyback IOL, reposition of the IOL in front of the anterior capsule, and some have reported success with laser of the anterior capsule.
