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

Posted by sunny1971 @sunny1971, Apr 28, 2021

Hi friends has anyone had pain behind the eye 9 to 12 months after the cataract surgery? My husband still going down a dark road fighting the pain in his eyes he’s been to so many physicians no one seems to know what it is they all say his eye and cataracts are fine the surgery went well he had a expensive cataract lens put in which is called a panoptic, he feels the doctor did not place it properly or that is too strong for his eye. He’s been on drop after drop five or seven different drops sometimes they help most of the time they don’t.

In reply to Sunny 1971@sunny1971. I had cataract surgery in one eye (had Fuchs Dystrophy). The pain did not subside ( usually on a scale 5) and it has been 2 years. I use Tylenol. Decided not to have the other eye done. I was told that sometimes cataract surgery does not improve the eye. I have edema in eye. Sure hope you do better.

If one's eye is affected by clouding of their natural lens, then only the removal of that lens will provide clarity.

the cataract was removed and a lens was put in for distance.....the sight is pretty good on certain days, but tires out; also get pain and edema of the eye.
