Eye pain following retinal detachment and caterct surgery

Posted , 4 users are following.

Over the last year I have had surgery, first for a detached retina and then for a cataract.  I still have some pain, sometimes quite sharp, often towards the end of the day. I also now do have some aversion to light.  Has anyone had a similar experience?
