A member asked:

A month after my mom underwent a cataract surgery in her left eye, she constantly feels somthing in the middle of her eye even when she doesn't blink?

Persistent swelling: After cataract surgery could be causing your mom's symptoms. She should be seen by the ophthalmologist who performed her surgery to see if she needs any other treatment than what she has received already.
