Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

It is not clear what surgery you are referring to. A shadow behind the eye might be some finding on ophthalmoscopy, something like papilledema which can be a result of raised intracranial tension. This can lead to headaches, A CT scan will show if there is raised intracranial tension due to any medical condition. If you require a detailed discussion please send in complete details regarding duration of symptoms, severity and the surgery details.
