Brief Answer:
Yes, this will improve with time.

Detailed Answer:
HI and thanks so much for this query.

I have reviewed your information fully. The exact sequence of symptoms you have reported following this cataract surgery is common among patients who have benefitted from this same surgery. The good news is that these symptoms gradually fate away as you recover fully. You should not panic or be alarmed about this at this time unless something else like pain, declining acuity, etc. set in.

I hope this helps reassures you. I wish you well and feel free to follow up with me if need be.
