Description
Kaori Morii and Azusa Akashi report a case where swapping a lens implant cured dizziness after cataract surgery. Dissatisfaction after such surgery is often blamed on the mind. Vision-driven vestibular trouble is rarely considered as a cause.
Their patient was an older woman with blur, dizziness, and floating feelings. Her measured acuity after surgery was good, which deepened the puzzle. Balance tests showed strong sway when vision cues were stressed. Trial contact lenses mimicking her old mild short sight brought relief. Surgeons then exchanged both implants to restore that state. Symptoms eased after the exchange surgery. The case urges balance checks in puzzling post-surgery complaints.
