Pain in eye after cataract surgery: When does it get better?

Update on my treatment and current condition. Will appreciate any insights and guidance
1. have been on autologus serum for 4 months and Bronfenac (as needs for pain)
2. Pain/dry eye was getting better, then last month both pain/dry eye and vison (large brown shadows) got worst
3. Doctor (cornea specialist) suggested perhaps cataract surgery was a wrong decision due to past Lasix (he did not do the surgery)
4. Next steps i) see Dr Anat Galor in Bascon-Miami (she is doing research in optic neuropathic pain) ii) increase concentration in autologus serum iii) try Clobetasol steriod eye drops.
5. Questions - i) Has anybody tried any medicines for neural pain, including medical marijuana ii) any experience with Dr. Galor iii) Any personal do and dont to manage pain and dry eyes.

Thanks in advance

While I can't comment on your pain, my sense after a lot of reading, and having had PRK (a type of refractive surgery not unlike LASIK), is that cataract replacement surgery is not particularly related to LASIK. This said, folks who have had refractive surgery (LASIK/PRK/RK) no longer have virgin corneas - so, in many cases, Intra Ocular Lenses (IOL) like the Light Adjustable Lens (LAL) provide a much higher probability of a good outcome as they can be tuned after surgery to mitigate the greater chance of a wrong script due to the previous surgeries.
