Hello
Welcome to Health care magic.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that you are having light sensitivity following cataract surgery. My response to your query is as below.

This can be because of inflammation of the eye induced by cataract surgery. Hence this requires examination of the eye to confirm the diagnosis. If confirmed treatment is required in the form of anti-inflammatory drugs and steroids.

Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope this answers your question.
Do write back to me for further questions.

With regards
