I have flashing and dizziness after cataract surgery

[Omne47]

I had cataract surgery on Jan 18th and Jan 24th. The lenses were mono-focal and they are set for monovision.
The right is close up and the left is distance. Everything seemed fine at first but from the beginning I noticed rapid flashing in my peripheral vision when looking at anything very white, such as paper or a computer screen. It's worse in fluorescent lights. It occurs on both sides evenly.

Prior to the surgery my right eye was pretty much blurry on everything for about 1 1/2 years. I was relying on the left eye.

After the second eye was done I noticed that  I was experiencing moments of dizziness that lasted less than a second but kept repeating. My vision has cleared and there doesn't seem to be a problem with switching between distance and closeup as far as seeing clearly.

What I've determined is that if I switch visual distance while my head is stationary there's no problem. If I switch while my head is moving I get a dizziness/ lightheadeness feeling. I know it's related to the monovision because if I cover either eye and move my head around it doesn't occur.

I'm wondering if others have had this combination and if it resolved eventually. I like the visual outcome but the dizziness is becoming a problem.

Yes both problems are common. Your first problem is likely "dysphotopsia" from the IOLs.  Use the search feature and archives to read about it. You also can read many of the articles on the internet from research papers. The second problem is related to "full monofocal"  IOL patterns. Discuss with your surgeon.
