Hello
It seems from the history that you are having post operative complication in the form of retained cortical matter following cataract surgery.
Retained cortical matter will lead to anaphylactic reaction resulting in inflammation and secondary glaucoma.
The treatment is by control of inflammation and the removal of the cortical matter by second surgery.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
