drooping eye lids

My husband had cataract surgey about 6 months ago.  His eye lids are now drooping.  Could this be an after effect of his surgery?

Yes this is not an uncommon problem. It usually gets better however if not gone at 6 months it may not go away. See a oculoplastic surgeon. Find one at www.aao.org  Surgery to lift the lid is sometimes indicated.

No droopy eyelid (ptosis) is not a cause of post cataract double vision.

Can repairing the droopy eye lid also fix double vision caused by the lens implant?
