I had cataract surgery 8 weeks ago without complications, but now i have a yellow discharge in my eye.

See your eye doctor: You should see the doctor that did your cataract surgery. It seems unlikely that it is related to the surgery that was 8 weeks ago. Yellow discharge can be an sign of a bacterial infection. The eye doctor who performed your surgery is the best person to evaluate and treat this problem.
