Vision after sirgery: In Cataract surgery the cloudy lens is replaced by an intra ocular implant. Vision returns within a week or two provided no other pathology in the eye. Pre-existing Macular degeneration or retinal diseases will compromise final visual outcome. Residual astigmatism may also cause blurred vision unless corrected with glasses. Please take her to Ophthalmologist & continue using medication

S/p Cataract surgery: It is not uncommon to have blurry vision, general discomfort, pressure sensations around eye after surgery. This can be due to resolving inflammation, corneal swelling, drying out of tear film layer, pressure fluctuations in eye. These symptoms should resolve. If pt sees nothing, call your eyeMD as emergency to recheck inside eye.
