Is Dizziness Normal After Cataract Surgery?
Dear Doctor, My mother (age 77 / 67 kg /5 ft 2in) has had cataract surgery on both eyes over the last 3 weeks. Since her second operation four days ago, she has been experiencing considerable dizziness. The GP can not see her until later in the week. This is why I am writing to you. Is this a side effect of the procedure? With thanks.

Hello

Dizziness is not caused by cataract or cataract surgery.
Hence dizziness needs yo be evaluated.
The common causes for dizziness are vertigo, migraine...
The treatment is by use of antivertigo drugs and treatment of underlying cause.
