What Causes Blurred Vision After Undergoing Cataract Surgery?

I had a blurry eye and had cataract surgery. After a week it was three times worse than before surgery. Dr said still swollen, medicine must not be working and gave me steroids. 2 days later eye is completely blurry and I can't see at all. What do you think is happening? Thanks

if you had a blury eye your surgeon should not have gone for surgery.post operativly steroid antibiotic and artificial tear drop are indicated and should be continued till it is recomanded. but fitness for surgery should have assessed properly and vision after surgery should be best. what about the other eye and its visual status continue treatment under supervision of doctor so that there may be improvement.preoperative assesment is very important.
