What are the most common problems after cataract surgery?

The most common problems after cataract surgery include:
1. Inflammation: Some patients may experience inflammation, redness, and swelling in the eye after cataract surgery.
2. Infection: There is a risk of infection after cataract surgery, which can cause vision loss if not treated promptly.

3. Cloudy vision: Some patients may experience cloudy or blurry vision for a few days or weeks after surgery. This is usually temporary and clears up on its own.
4. Swelling of the cornea: Some patients may experience swelling of the cornea, which can cause blurry vision and sensitivity to light.
5. Retinal detachment: In rare cases, cataract surgery can lead to retinal detachment, a serious condition that can cause vision loss.
6. Secondary cataract: Some patients may develop a condition called posterior capsular opacification (PCO) or secondary cataract. This occurs when the thin membrane that holds the artificial lens in place becomes cloudy, causing blurry vision.
