I had cataract surgery on the 20th October and 27th October on my right and left eye respectively.All went well but I an continually suffering with headaches in my right eye and all along the right side of my face towards the back of my head.

I take pain killers and sinutab and it relieves the pain but the next day the pain is back.

Should I return to the eye specialist.

I initially did complain to him,he checked my eye and said all is fine.

Really nit sure what to do.

    Have you considered seeing your primary care doctor and/or a neurologist? If you have pain all along the side of your face it could be trigeminal neuralgia, perhaps brought on by the surgery.
