HI IAM DR USMAN. WELL CATARACT SURGERY HAS SOME KNOWN COMPLICATIONS LIKE LIGHT SENSITIVITY, MILD BLURRED VISION, DRYNESS BUT THEY TEND TO DISAPPEAR EVENTUALLY SOMETIMES IT TAKES 1 - 2 MONTHS. MY SUGGESTION IS YOU NEED TO SEE AN OPTHTHALMOLOGIST TO GET A COMPLETE EYE CHECKUP SO THAT ANY SIGNS OF INFECTIONS CAN BE DETECTED. ARTIFICIAL TEARS ARE HELPFUL IN REDUCING DRYNESS, YOU CAN USE NEVANAC EYE DROPS . THEY ARE GOOD ANTI INFLAMMATORY EYE DROPS WHICH REDUCE PAIN TOO. HOPE THIS HELPS
