Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having puffiness of eyes following cataract surgery. This can be because of inflammation caused by surgery. This will resolve as the inflammation subsides.
The use of anti-inflammatory drugs will provide speedy recovery.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.
Thank you
With regards
