Q: For a person who has retrolental fibroplasia from birth, what is the cause for flickering vision after cataract surgery?

A:In case of retrolental fibroplasia or ROP, there could be traction on the retina, which could cause the history of flashes or flickering vision, especially after a complicated cataract surgery. You should consult a retina specialist.
