Hello
It seems from the history that you are having sensitivity to light following cataract surgery.
This indicates inflammation of the eye probably following cataract surgery.
This requires treatment by the use of steroids and antiinflammatory drugs depending on the severity.
The other things that need to be considered are corneal edema and secondary glaucoma induced by surgery.
Hence I advice you to consult your eye doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
