Yes, I have bags under my eyes after cataract surgery. I still have one more appointment with my optometrist and I am hopeful the blur on my right eye will go away. And, I have a bruise under that eye most likely caused by the clear plastic lens that I wore at night. I still have access to this doctor for ninety days at no charge. The $300 he received after each surgery pays for this. These are recent surgeries so @minnesota10 has good advice about giving my body time to heal. The first surgery was awful because I was not given enough anesthesia and I felt pain. I had the nurse's hand in a death grip. I heard the doctor who was operating say "We need to give her more Versed next time." I had been telling the anesthesiologist all along that I was difficult to sedate and the little amount of Versed did nothing for me. The next time, I had a different anesthesiologist and he put a port in my hand and gave me Versed and two other drugs and I felt no pain. I was so grateful to the second doctor who listened to me and most likely there was the notes from my first surgery. I wrote a "thank you" note to him. My husband had these surgeries two years ago and has a massive floater in one eye and he has a film on the back of both eyes. We are told this is scar tissue that formed and now he will have a laser treatment on both eyes. It is called Yag; however, nothing will help the floater. I only have a few of these, but his is terrible. It is always something. With all good wishes, @joybringer1.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I also have a film across both eyes after the surgery 2019, I still do. My Optometrist can see the cloudiness so she advised me to see the surgeon to laser both eyes. 2 weeks aftersurgery I had the right eye lasered,no results! I haven't been back
since. I still have cloudiness in both eyes..any suggestions?
