Complication after cataract surgery: After cataract surgery, a patient might experience cloudy, wavy, distorted vision, blurry or distorted. It can take some time for your visual system to adjust to removing the cataract and adapting to the new transplanted intraocular lens. Sometimes, you may also observe red, dry eyes and bloodshot eyes due to temporary damage to the blood vessels on the surface of the white part of the eye (sclera) during cataract surgery. These sensations subside as the eye heals with time.
