Is It Normal To Experience Headache, Dizziness And Body Imbalance After A Cataract Surgery?
Hi, my mom had a cataract surgery on August 8. She is 83 yrs. old and after surgery the doctor prescribed her Vigamox 0.5% and Prednisolone AC 1% on drop four times a day. Today is day five after surgery and she still is having pain, stings, headache, dizziness and loosing balance when she walks. Is this normal or is she having any allergy reaction from the drops she is taking?

Hi,
Many causes for balance abnormalities but it may depend on the type of anaesthesia (painkiller) used during the operation, one can experience balance problems and dizziness after surgery, but this typically would only last a few hours.
Persistent dizziness can be related to the new artificial lens that was implanted after removal of your clouded natural lens.
The new lens may have a different refractive power from your previous lens and may be creating an imbalance to which you are unaccustomed. It also could be that the dizziness is completely unrelated to your surgery.
So please consult your surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
