Yes: Patients commonly describe their eyes as feeling tired for the first few weeks after cataract surgery.

This symptom usually improves over the weeks following surgery.

Secondary cataract: Secondary cataract is a condition where the posterior capsule (the clear membrane behind the lens) becomes cloudy or scarred.  Immediately after surgery this membrane is clear like seran wrap.  The light passes through the pupil, then the new lens implant, then this clear membrane (posterior capsule).  It can cloud like wax paper.  A yag laser can be used to make a hole in this clouded membrane.
