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.

Let eyeMD know: Discharge after Cataract Surgery (CS) is common: due to normal bacteria on eyelid margin, meibomian glands changes, blepharitis or rosacea, sx can last couple days-wks. Use lid hygiene routine, diluted tea tree oil, artificial tears for relief; call eyeMD for rx for antibiotic if no improvement or worsening symptoms or vision; more info: eyedoc2020.blogspot.com
