Its due to the wave length of green light.

WHY IS THE GHOST IMAGE ( WHICH BEGAN 6 WEEKS AFTER CATARACT SURGERY) MOSTLY EVIDENT WITH GREEN LIGHTS? ALL OTHERS SEEM TO HAVE MINIMAL, OR NO, GHOSTING.
Yes that 's a good IOL with a strong track record. My comments still stand.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENT. MY LENS IS ALCON SOFT IQ, 13.O mm
otic 6.0 mm
I don't think it is multi-focal. Can this type produce my symptoms of a diagonal glare, and, recently, double vision with stop lights, etc.?

It depends a lot on what kind of IOL you have in your eye. If it is a monofocal IOL of high quality (tecnis, Alcon, B&L) then it could be uncorrected refrective error or clouding of the membrane behind the IOL. Glasses or yag laser treatment take care of these.
If you have a so called "Premium" multifocal IOL then it could be the above plus dysphotopsia. Use the search feature and read about multifocal IOLs (ReZoom by far the worse, then ReStor and Crystalens).
I would suggest an earlier visit to your surgeon and a firm declaration of your concern or a second opinion with another ophthalologist.

Do you have the Multifocal lens? If so do a search for them. There is a great archive on them here.
