Seeing An Arc Of Light After Cataract
Surgery
I'm seeing an arc of light off to the side of my vision since I had cataract surgery one
week ago.
Why am I seeing an arc of light after cataract surgery? Is this
dangerous?
Seeing flashes of light or an arc of light out of the corner of your eye is usually due to the gel in the back
of your eye pulling away from the retina. This is sometimes brought on by having cataract surgery and it is often
accompanied by floaters or black spots in your vision. The vitreous gel can break apart into smaller clumps that
float back and forth in your vision after cataract removal.
